      I need some help, and a bit of education.....

      We are doing a bunch of changes to the 69 Camaro we are working on, one of them is to remove the Brake Booster and Master Cylinder that is on the car to clean up the engine compartment. We want to go with the sweet looking Wilwood master cylinder set up that lots of you are running, I noticed that lots of you have no brake booster on your car, are you using a vacum pump ? Do you need it at all ?

      The car has a LS2 in it, with the Synister set up on it, with AC and power steering.

      The car has the Wilwood 140-7675 Front disc kit, and the 140-7139 Rear Kit (Ford 9”)



      What are you guys using for your systems ?

      Any places you would recommend to learn a little more about it all ?

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Might want to looking into hydroboost also.... they perform and look better than vacuum bosters. Just a thought.

      I think some people are just going manual brakes with no hidden booster. Frank at Prodigy Customs should be able to chime in and help you out. I also believe Bad Penny is set up that same way.
