Weird.... I pulled the vac brake pedal. It appeared to match the HB one (length, arch, hole positions) so I left it in place.

Ok, next question is based on this info:
Quote:
Pedal ratio is different between the two so the pedal itself is different.

Vacuum = 4.51:1

Hydraboost = 5.60:1
It appears the HB has a higher ratio. Wouldn't that mean the HB pedal in a Vac app would yield more pedal effort all else being the same?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
