      Brake Booster Question???

      I am building a pro touring 78 firebird.

      I have the Baer 13 track kit, Lowered car 2.5 inches, Have 17x9.5 with 275 rubber in front, and 17x11 with 315 rubber in the rear. I currently have a 15/16 bore master from baer. It is leaking so I am going to replace it with a 1 inch willwood.

      I have the stock 11 inch booster that is tired. I am looking to upgrade the booster. I am looking for some input from you guys.



      Obviously the less money spent the better. Should I go hydroboost (Does the extra pressure cause leak problems in the brake lines???) I have been to alot of car shows and only saw one show car with a hydroboost..they dont seem to be to popular. Or should I go with a dual 7inch or a single eight?? The other thing is...the willwood is a large master so with the double booster with it hit the hood because the factory setup with the single 11 and master is kinda close.

      Or should I do detroit speed set up form a late model camaro. It will fit a 78, it is made for it. here is the link. the price is also reasonable.

      And since it is a double 9inch, it should give me proper pedal feel and pressure, even better then the 11inch.

      Any input or experience with the booster in a similar car would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
