Take a good close look for reference. You will see I have designed this particular system to place the brake assist unit on center with the top two mounting points where your master cylinder is currently mounted. The C3 factory manual brake master cylinder design has two studs protruding from the firewall with the MC hole in the firewall on center of these two bolts, so the top two holes in the billet mounting plate on this brake unit will fasten there to the factory MC studs. Now 2.885" lower from the top two master cylinder mounting points are two 5/16" bolts going into your firewall / steering column support structure. This is where the lower two fastener points are in this manual to power brake conversion system. This system is angled downward just enough to stay out of hood clearance issues. This system is actually vastly easier to install than the poor guys that have a factory power brake system, as they have to fight four vacuum booster mounting nuts out from under the dash to unbolt the booster (then schedule a chiropractic appointment the day after). By contrast, you get to hit "the big red easy button" as all of your work is going to be pleasant because everything bolts from the engine compartment side nice and clean and simple. The only under dash diving you will have to do is establish the connection to the brake pedal (with this system providing a design that allows you set the brake pedal height wherever you may want it by spinning the brake assist unit's brake pedal rod in or out of the horseshoe clevis). This system will also have you use your existing manual brake connection point on the pedal, so you will definitely have to go with the larger 1.125" bore MC (Wilwood 260-8556P or Wilwood 260-8556BK) if you want to go that route. Or? We have a few other MC's you could look at available through us. Note that we do outsource the Wilwood MC's for customers upon request as needed, matching Summit Racing's Pricing at $239.95:

Your LS3 pump and C4 rack are a very popular proven combination, so this will also be simple to connect the PS plumbing. Here is a general schematic of the plumbing for basic reference (courtesy of Concept One):

I suggest you give my guy Jim Petty a call to discuss:
http://www.hydratechbraking.com/contact.html
I apologize, but I am not available for telephone calls (just way too much going on during the day to get involved with 15 - 45 minute phone calls (which is why I have Jim Petty). I have sent him a link to this forum discussion so that he knows what we have been talking about.
There IS a difference – Thank you for choosing Hydratech!
