I've never driven anything with a Hydroboost, but I've only heard good things about them... does your Astro Van have one on it? A lot of those came w/ a hydroboost.

I have one sitting on the bench right now... I'll let you know how I like it in a few months.

Thanks for the quick response Derek..

And yes, I do have a big cam and that is why we opted for the brake booster hoping that it would fix the problem.

And yes, our Astro Van does have a hydroboost. And it has the best brakes of all the larger vehicles that I have ever driven.

And David just told me that he just ordered the hydroboost. The only problem is that they do not come with the brake line because it is hydraulic brake line. None of the companies include the brake line with the kit. So we will have to measure it and have it made. Hopefully we can find someone close to have them made. Anyone have any suggestions. Boy am I feeling needy today.

I still want to know how you like the conversion when you get yours done Derek.
