I race a street stock and I'm trying to look for a smaller wheel cylinder to run on the right side, to decrease braking on the right side (like an undersized caliper for the right front). Is there anything that would bolt right in place of the stock 3/4" cylinder one? (kinda like the S10 does, except going down in bore size)
Is there a smaller rear wheel cylinder?

all you have to do is back off the shoes....but if you think that will help you to rotate around corners your mistaken. Some of the guys I know stick a rivet in the line to that brake so it doesn't work but all the plumbing is there so it passes tech. Some other guys will run 2 primary shoes on the left and two secondary shoes on the right side. You name it, it's been tried. Also isn't your back end locked?
Can't use rivets, they check to make sure the brakes stop at tech, that's why I'm iffy about backing off the adjuster. I'm planning on running the brake shoes like you said. And, no, the rear isn't locked (illegal).
You could also run the s10 non power brake cylinder on the left, there is no smaller one I know of for the right. I heard about one guy making teflon brake shoes for the right side but I never saw them. The other thing is if you could secure the cylinder so it does not move around you'll increase the breaking on that wheel. I have the 8.2 rear with the bolt in cylinders and the rear brakes improved noticably. I used the same shoes and drums that I had on my 7.5 so it was just the bolt in cylinder that was different
