bias valve

I currently have a sierra bias valve fitted, Im running a standard sierra master cylinder, does the master cylinder distribute the front and rear braking to iirc 80/20 or there abouts, if this is the case surely I dont need an adjustable bias valve, I have also had trouble with the back brakes sticking on which I have put down to the bias valve.

From what I've read, a Sierra Master Cylinder isn't up to the job due to small bore size... unless you're also using the Servo. (WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN RENDERED INCORRECT)

If you're building a BEC, the bias valve need not be used. Bias isn't used on most BEC 7 type cars (due to light weight) unless you're thinking of serious tracking or racing in which case you'll need that adjustability.

Not true. I'm using a standard Sierra MC with rear drums and no bias valve or servo.

Passed the SVA first time with no problems and the brakes are fantastic. If I really brake hard I can lock all 4 wheel but never the rears before the front.

Im running willwoods on the front with discs on rear, the brakes seem to work well with the standard master cylinder, what other options are there?
