I would like to know if there is a brake booster kit that everyone recommends for the Wilwood disc brake kit. 67 camaro. I am confused that some people say that i dont need a booster.

Wilwood makes a few different brake kits for the first-gen Camaro, so which one are you running? More importantly, if you can provide the caliper model and piston diameters, as well as rotor diameters and pad compound/coefficients of friction since they all factor into the overall package performance, that would be most helpful. What are you doing with the rear of the car? Are you sticking with the OE rear drums? Is your '67 a factory manual or power brake car?

Any brake system can be set up in either a manual or power configuration, however the master cylinder bore requirements are generally different with the manual system requiring a smaller bore than a boosted system all other things equal.
