I tried to PM, but your box is full
I saw some of your replies to a camaro owner with Wilwood brakes. I have the exact same problem with my 64 twin turbo Malibu. They are downright scary, and almost don't work. I think I have the 260-8555 1" bore Wilwood MC, running baer brakes. I think I would like to get a hydratech boost system. I just don't know if I need the # 3021 or # 3023???
also, I have no clue on pricing. Can you give me some pricing please?
Thanks!
Jay in NM
email or PM me and I can give you my contact info

ps. I'd really like to have this done and installed by begin of November for Goodguys-Scottsdale show!

I am cleaning my PM box.

The Hydroboost are $695 and Paul gets them out in a week to 10 days, so if you order now you can get it on in plenty of time.

The Hydroboost is awesome and will most likely fix your problem. I have to let you know there is a option of a smaller bore master too. A 1" bore master is not really a manual brake system master.

That's not quite true. The bore size of the master needs to be matched with the caliper bore size and the brake pedal ratio. With some systems, a 1" or even larger bore would be perfectly fine.

Im sorry, but we have been waiting 5 months for a Hydroboost kit, and still nothing.

Quote from Frank "And the Hydroboost is MIA"

Im sorry Frank, $13,000 worth of parts, and5 months later still dont have them all.

Frank and I talked today, and i fully understand what happened.
