Brake Booster M/C choice
Ok guys its getting time to choose which booster and m/c to go with for my truck. I have the original 11 in booster set up but would like to see what you guys think. So here is what I can tell you about the truck.
1) The motor will be pretty well stock so I am not worried about any vacuum issues. I have seen lots of the smaller 8" dual boosters but dont really know how they perform as compared to the factory booster 2) I am shaving the firewall and dont want too much there. But what will be there needs to look good too 3) I am going to run the Captain Fab rear camaro disc in the rear ok...let the opinions fly

Re: Brake Booster M/C choice
I had a stainless steel dual diaphram booster on my Chevelle and it was great. I also used the CPP master cylinder (MCPV-1) with double adjustable proportioning valve, removable metering valve and stop light control all in one.... not cheap but nice setup.
If you want a clean bracket, just get the captains booster bracket... but it doesnt work with the factory column shift.... not sure what you're using.... |

Re: Brake Booster M/C choice
Check out his thread... I cant remember what the interference was.. The Lokar cable shift for the column may solve the problem... I dont think anyone posted pictures...

I know that bracket would add some room inside the engine bay which could be a good thing also
