I bet braking performance has to be pretty bad w/ no booster.

Hey guys, i just decided to register here today to get chatting with you all. I run the ASC McLaren facebook page. I ran into some family isssues when i was doing the brake project. I did finish it but the peddle was way to hard so i redid the project.

Here are a list of parts you will need to vacuum brakes with out changing the firewall.

95-99 Camaro/Firebird Booster

1990-1997 w-body master cylinder (or master cylinder of your choice)

Flare kit

The camaro booster is no fun task but it has a nice angle so it lifts the master cylinder way above the turbo and gives you more room to play with. ill take some pictures today and a video. I'm working the TGP, i just dropped in a 5 speed and im stripping a 92 Richard Petty Grand Prix too. Feel free to contact me if you need help or more info, pix, ect.

he said to me
just drill 4 holes, remove the dash so you can bolt it and re flair your lines, that's what i did. no new lines. I used the camaro master cylinder since it has 2 ports, i put a 2 on the front lines and ran the rear line on its own port. car stops too good lol.

I think i would want to make all new lines and use a 4 port W master, the rare and leaky proportioning valve would need removed from the system. The vacuum brake masters are internally proportioned correct?

I hate to be the nagging type but i dont see the update on the facebook page.

For those that have done this it works well for a daily driver? 

Thanks,
Thomas
