The hydroboost puts out quite a bit more assist than even the best of vaccum boosters. Most late model GM stuff has hydroboost as an option regardless of whether it’s a gas or diesel truck. I used it on mine because with the incoming front dana 60 and plans to run a minimum of 35 inch tires, I wanted to do everything in my power to make sure the brakes weren’t ever going to be a concern.
With stock size tires on it now it will easily lock the tires up on asphalt *if* I tell it too, but at the same time the pedal overall has a better modulating feel to me than the original 3/4 ton vacuum booster ever did.
