you should be able to go to a 9" dual and not lose any braking force.

9" or even our 8" dual make more boost then a single 11" from the factory.

Frank is correct, a dual-8" diaphragm is more or less equivalent to a single-10.75" booster in terms of gain, albeit slightly more on paper. The dual-9" booster like those used on the C5 Corvettes provides approximately 30% more boost than the single-10.75", so either should be step in the right direction without any real drawbacks to speak of.

Had the same problem as you and swapped to a CPP 8" Dual Diaphram Booster.
