Opinions on Master/Booster combo

[LeighP]

Ok, so I'm asking for some opinions on which way to go with my mastercylinder/booster combo.

Car is a 71 Firebird. I'm currently running 12" front 1LE rotors with Wilwood GMIII alloy single piston calipers (basically the same as the stock GM caliper, but alloy). Rear is 11" finned "B" Body police pack drums. Everything is new, including lines and hoses, all correctly bled.



My current mastercylinder is a Jegs branded chromed generic 1 & 1/8" GM style unit, with a replacement Delco style factory booster - not genuine GM.

Issue - the vehicle stops "OK"....I would have imagined the 12" rotors and large drums would stop a little better, but the thing I least like is the feel of the pedal and the fact it seems to have more travel than I think it should.

I've been researching options -

1. Hydratech's hydraboost kit, coupled with the correct GM replacement mastercylinder (I already have this in stock). This was my initial thought as the feedback on these systems is great.



2. Emailed DSE's tech people and they say that their twin diaphram/latemodel matercylinder combo for 2nd gen F-bodies should work great for my application.
The DSE kit is approximately half the cost of the hydroboost kit.



So, for people who know brakes....what are your thoughts?
