Subject line says it all - I remember installing one in my Pontiac years ago and being pretty underwhelmed with the level of assist. But I just used my stock pump as-is. I'd like to reuse it in a vehicle with enough cam that it doesn't have great assist. But it's got the original 1969 power steering pump.

Does a hydraboost need or benefit from any kind of up-powered pump?

Thanks!
