Manual or Hydroboost?

I'm an official hydro-evangelist. Love 'em. Sometimes they can be noisy with a goofy pump, but once sorted out, they're great.

Manual brakes FTW!

13" 6 pot and 12" 4 pot Wilwoods with manual 7/8" bore mc and love it.

Like Vegas said though, they seem to work a bit better with some heat, but for me I like to feedback I get when stopping and I've had to halt her from short distances on the street.

Are you running a porp. valve? What brake pressure are u seeing?

No prop valve, stock dist block. I have no idea of the pressure, I'm just going by feel.

Power steering pump was failing or incorrect for use with hydroboost. PS pump for use with HB needs at least 3 gpm to work properly.

That sucks. Then you can't adjust steering weight by reducing fluid flow; most systems require less than 3GPM for a good weight. You'd have to soley rely on the T-bar for adjustment.

I'm not positive but in theory a pressure bypass valve from Heidt's installed after the hydroboost assist unit and tied into the low pressure return line should work. You can get 3GPM to the brake unit then reduce it before it gets to the rack.
