I know this was discussed at some length here, and there was a group purchase a few months ago, but at that time I didn't know I would be in the position of potentially needing one.
I don't expect to be able to make enough vacuum for my power assist brakes with the new cam, and getting the valvecover near the booster off takes a little manuvering.
I read all the stuff I could find in old posts, but can anyone relay their experiences installing the thing, and whether or not they liked it and thought it was worth it, is it over-sensitive to braking effort? Worth going for over manual brakes (because non-assisted power assist equipped brakes are the worst..)? General comments?

Thanks..

Matt

Someone made a site of their install and posted in this thread:
Hydroboost install thread (http://www.chevelles.com/cgi-bin/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=007354#000000)

Search the Suspension forum, there are some discussions about them there.

I bought one during the group purchase in case I end up in your situation. I really don't know what to expect for vaccum when I get the motor where I want it. Not going to install it until I need it though sinc I redid the whole brake system recently.

I guess I should have searched more forums than this one...

Thanks Tim.
