Didn't have a prop valve it does now.

For me the soft brake pedal is that the car originally had manual brakes, not assisted. The pedal ratio is 6:1 which is not ideal for a boosted application. A 4:1 or 5:1 ratio is what's required.

Assume from reading that article this is something you've also considered. I'm looking for a new pedal now



No need for a new pedal!! Just remove it -- it's simple to take out -- and drill a new hole in it for the proper ratio (move it down toward the bottom of the pedal about an 1" or 2"). DONE.
