Thanks Paul.

I do remember Jody's 17 degree power brake angled booster and Viper MC setup to clear his Nelson headers and that's also something bouncing around at the back of my head-- I wouldn't be worried about clearances at all with that setup. A 17 degree bracket on my current setup would also provide more clearance.

Hindsight being 20/20 I'm not sure exactly why I put the driver's side wastegate where I did several years ago. Back when I fabbed them I remember putting that was the best spot I could come up with at the time for the wastegate based on the bend radii of the mandrel bends available, clearances to the inner fender/hood/steering/spark plugs/master cylinder, and also where I could dump the waste back into the downpipe (I didn't want dump to atmosphere wastegates.)

Looking at the driver's side now I could have done things differently and left a lot more room for the master cylinder-- but redoing it now will be money that I'd rather put towards the floater rear end and new brakes rather than reworking things that I already did. It may have to happen in the end though.

Regardless, I'm not set on either keeping the hydroboost or switching to manual brakes until i decide on a new floater rear end. The new rear brakes required for the floater will end up driving the front brake and master cylinder selection, so until I get the rear end nailed down everything else is undecided at this point.
