DSE Booster or Hydratech (Dilemma)
Trying to decide on going with hydratech unit or DSE booster and master on a 67 Camaro... I have about 11" of vacuum at idle.

Right now I have power brakes and a c3 corvette 1-1/8 master and it's great when the motor makes vacuum but the pedal gets hard in low vacuum situations. Or should I go with manual brakes?

Bosch iBooster is the way to go imo.

If it's perfect the way it is when there's vacuum, no need to reinvent the wheel.

I second the iBooster options. I have C5 front brakes and LS1 12" rear brakes and it has great pedal feel.

I am just finishing up a Gen2 Ibooster in my 70 Chevelle. Install was really easy. Have not driven yet to give feedback on pedal/brake feel.

9" dual diaphragm booster with 12" vacuum at idle works for me on my full Willwood setup on my 1973 TA.
