      Backpressure issues w/Hydratech

      If it's not one thing it's another. Have a Hydratech booster to go along with my Wilwood 1.125 master cylinder. The problem is 5 seconds after I start the car, the brake pedal lowers about 3 inches and applies pressure. Enough pressure that you have to really push to turn the front wheels when raised in the air. I went over the instructions again today and all the hoses are run to the correct ports. I do have a fluid cooler. It is a 2 row single pass with the outlet going back to the power steering pump reservoir. It seems the entire system becomes pressurized. Taking the cap off of the power steering pump is akin to taking the cap off of the radiator. It is a stock pump for the LS1. I've call and talked to Hydratech. He was real helpful and will call him again tomorrow. I just wanted to see if anyone else had run into the same problem. I'm hoping I don't have to take the unit off and send it in for repair/rebuild.

      Robert's 1969 Camaro - 2002 LS1/T56, 10pt cage, Global West Stage III front suspension, HTH truck arm rear suspension, Sprint Cup 9" full-floating rear end, Fikse Mach V 17" up front 18" in the back and still working on it...
