Anyone have one or know of someone that has one installed? I called them and they make one specifically for our trucks with the manual brake pedal ratio. He said since my truck was a factory manual brake truck his system would bolt in. I am looking at it with the Wilwood MC very seriously as it will free up some room for the Coyote motor.
Anyhow, was hoping to get some feedback if anyone had already installed one.

Re: Hydra Tech Braking Systems - Hydroboost
Hydra Tech offers a complete kit but they tend to be pretty expensive. A friend purchased a system for his Mustang and it didn't meet his expectations on fit and he didn't think that it was worth the price. Based on that I am building my own (and another for him) with an Astro van booster and RHD S-10 master. The booster cost me all of $30. I made my own hoses. It did take time and a little engineering but was much less expensive. I have become skeptical of anything that is stated to be a bolt-in on an old car. A lot of the little parts such as push rods and generic mounting plates as well as full kits can also be purchased through Tallon Hydraulics. I don't know all the history but there is some animosity between Tallon and Hydratech. Just ignore that drama and get the parts/kit that you need for the best price. There is little to fail on a hydroboost unit and rebuild kits are cheap when compared to "all new" that the vendors offer.
