I'd like to give Paul and the guys at Hydratech Braking
Systems, or
Hydroboost.com as |
|
most know them, a shout out for the great service and
product. All too often the internet |
| can be a source of
uninformed negativity. I'd like to take a little space
here on my website |
| to give Paul the
props that his service and product deserve. |
|
| I have a Hydroboost
assist unit on my 69 Camaro, and believe me, it flat out
works. It |
| exceeded my
expectations. I have modern brake pedal feel and power
without ever having |
| to worry about
vacuum. |
|
| When I ordered it, I
was a little apprehensive as I didn't have a lot of feedback
at the time, |
| but I had seen a few
other cars with it installed. I knew I had to do
something, and this |
| looked like a clear
winner over a vacuum canister or an electric vacuum pump.
I got the |
| kit, it took a few
hours to install. Everything went well, except I
didn't have the right fitting |
| that went into the
pump. I had a male fitting on the pump and a male
fitting on the |
| braided high
pressure side that goes to the inlet of the Hydroboost unit.
I called Paul the |
| next day to see what
was going on. After some research on his end, we found
that the |
| pump on my 69 wasn't
the pump that was originally on the car, and I needed the |
| correct
female fitting. No problem, Paul sent a new fitting
and I had the car on the |
| road in no time.
Paul's kit now includes both fittings so this won't happen
again. A few |
| months after I had
Hydroboost, I was at the track. On one of my passes,
the motor died |
| as I went through
the traps. Not only did the reserve give me power
assist, it felt like it |
| always did - even
with a dead motor. I'm now a firm believer in this
product. |
|
 |
| So why am I telling
you all of this? Well, I get a lot of e-mail about it,
and I wanted to |
| repay the favor to
Paul. I felt he went out of his way to help a customer
so I want to go out |
| of my way to repay
him. In this day and age of buying parts over the
internet, it's nice to |
| know that customer
service is still a priority at some places. |
|
| Several of the cars
that are featured on Lateral-g.net use Paul's Hydroboost
unit. You can |
| see it on
my 69 Camaro,
Trush's 69 Pro-Touring Pace Car,
Bernard's
Twin Turbo |
|
69 Camaro,
DuPont's Project NickelBack 55 Chevy,
Williams' Twin
Turbo Vette, |
| and
Campbell's
ProCharged 69 Camaro. |
