Im thinking about switching over to a big block for my camaro and i have an 11" booster that im pretty sure will get in the way of the valve covers on a 454. Im thinking about switching over to a universal 7" booster and buying angeled plates to mount to my firewall.

What do you guys who run power brakes with a big block chevy use?

Thanks

Dont have the budget for a hydroboost system.

Frank- Where did you buy your booster from?

If you can't afford a hydro boost a dual diaphram is the way to go. http://www.gpsuperstore.com/ sold here.

i used a master power 9" with a tank back up. http://www.mpbrakes.com/products/product-detail.cfm?product_id=172
