Hemi brakehelp
« on: May 05, 2009 - 02:28:11 PM »
What do I have to think about when to convert from manual to powerbrakes on my future hemichally?
Is a stock restorated brakebooster the best alternative or does anything excist on the aftermarket?
Any good vendors for hemi brakeparts?

Thanks//Per

Have seen a couple of sellers on ebay selling 8" Hemi brakeboosters, did B and E-body Hemis used the same?

You can consider a hydroboost if you have power steering or willing to run a power steering pump.

I have one on my car and it allows for plenty of room.

I have powersteering but what's the connection between the 2? :clueless:

Hydroboosst uses the pressure from your power steering pump rather that vacuum for assisted braking.
