I was looking for some imput on a hydroboost set up for the brake system on my 68, I have aftermarket 4 wheel disk from JFZ (no longer around, plus I put these in years ago). I think my problem is my cam killing the vacum which is causing low peddle. It would be great to hear from anyone who can recomend a brand of hydroboost along with possiitives and negatives................. thanks in advance

X2 on the Hydrotech kit
Have been running it for years on my 68' not one issue with it

First had it with a 427, now did a LS/T56 swap

Love it

Thanks for the feed back guys! and your cars look awsome! I want to stick a Ls3 in mine so bad but home ownership and still paying on my ZL1 has put a big halt on doing anything major to my 68...............
