Get real proper disks on your V8. Stop cutting corners.

Oh btw... I've got more engine & the same brakes as this (click on the link bellow for correct time):

0 to 100 and back in just over 9 seconds. Blimey

In less than 250m ... It can also break every speed limit in the UK in 1st gear

I found using compressionless brake cables helped a lot on my XL-FDD front drum, prior to that I wasn't able to do stoppies. Also giving the shoes a roughening up and a slight chamfer helped too like others have suggested. However make sure your fork is up to it, as I ended up bending mine....
