Hydro-boost questions (looking for data)

If you figure out whose kit it is, please let me know. Looking at many of the kits they run somewhere around $450+ depending on what you get. The HB units themselves are not all that expensive; a Ram 3500 version is like $176 on Rockauto and the Astro Van version is $122 and I am capable of making any mounting plate I might need so I really don't think I need to spend ~$500+ on one.

I really like the concept and especially the packaging. On my 70 RR I would have to use a HB system or go manual because it has a tilt front end and there is no room for a vacuum booster. This is why I am looking for data at this point.

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....
