Brake booster/Master cyclinder suggestion
Alright let me give you a brief summary, I have:
-DropMember -454 BB -Tall Valve covers -I have a cam with a choppy/thumping idle so probably wont give no vaccum lobe center: 107 Intake Center: 102 So the DM raised my engine, and then I have the tall valve covers due to the roller rockers, which makes the installation quite impossible. I think that even if I had the 7inch booster, I would not be able to remove my valve covers. CPP also mentioned that with a radical cam I would only have about 2 pumps with a canister. I call CPP for an opinion and they recommended thier Hydroboost -It cost about $700 (wow!) Is thier an alternative to this, I have heard of electric brakes but Im not to sure. What do you guys recommed?

Re: Brake booster/Master cyclinder suggestion
You can pull hydroboost units from 80s 1 ton chevy trucks and astro vans. It can be done for a couple of hundred bucks. Check out Yukon Jack's install thread...

Re: Brake booster/Master cyclinder suggestion
nothing wrong with manual brakes, they came like that in a few trillion vehicles over the years.
