I have drum brakes on all 4 corners of my 72 malibu. Im putting a 400 plus hp motor in place of the 307 so its just not going to stop it. What are my options for better braking?

For ease of execution, here are what I think the rankings are. 1. Praise Dyno drum brake shoes., 2. Stock A body discs on the front. , 3. Larger GM or aftermarket discs up front. , 4. Add some rear discs from possibly a Cadillac.

Would i also add power brakes if i went stock disc or keep it just with a master brake cylinder? Where do i buy praise drum shoes?

Can i just add brake power booster to my 4 wheel drums? The Praise kit is $225 for basically aftermarket brake shoes. Can it help that much?
