hydroboost vs. standard brake booster

Hay,

Can anyone give me some feedback regarding installing a hydroboost setup over a standard power brake booster. Seems like a cool deal, many later models have it and i was wondering what the pros/cons were. Can someone give me some input?

Re: hydroboost vs. standard brake booster

Hydroboost will provide alot more stopping power, it doesn't steal vacuum off the engine either, and is cleaner looking on the firewall. There's a thread here stating how much more pressure you have to your brakes. Maybe someone will chime in.

Works off your power steering box.
