Hydro-boost questions (looking for data)
Seems to me that the MC with all the lines and adjustable P Valve was around 700.00. Alot of members on here run manual with no trouble and see no need for any assist so you may can start another thread and see where that lands you. As for putting a kit together I have no idea on that. I don't mess with used brake parts and have no interest in putting pieces together to make something stop. If I can remember the name I will post it but probably looking at any Streetrod parts supplier will get you there......
As for the performance, opinions vary but 3 people drove the car prior to me doing a partial dismantle and they were impressed by the brakes on the car. The other one I had would stop at 3500lb car trapping almost 127mph in the 1/4 with a short shutdown lickity split lol.... Both cars equipped with factory disk on the front and drums on the back....

Thanks for the post. I have looked at a lot of the kits out there, some are better than others. However since none of those offering kits actually makes the HB unit, rather they are sourcing it from some place else and the fact that there are a variety of HB units available I feel that I can assemble a system for less money than a kit.
To this end, I have no intentions of putting "used" brake parts onto any of my cars, I am not sourcing parts from a junk yard, I will be buying parts from someplace like Rock Auto.
Braking seems to be a bit of a subjective issue; what one guy thinks is good another finds poor. I have a variety of vehicles to include a 70 Challenger RT with a 440 and factory PB (Disc/Drum), 73 Cuda with a 416 that 4 wheel manual disc, an 01 Viper, a 10 Challenger RT, etc. So I have a decent idea of how I want my cars to stop.
In this case, I want to explore a Hydro-boost system mainly because I can and since everyone raves about them I want to see what it is all about. That said, I am very confident I can built a HB system for quite a lot less than $700. Its not about saving money, its about doing something myself instead of paying someone else's markup.
