Re: Hi all - Project Ginger Has Begun

If you go with an aftermarket booster and master cylinder assembly, you will have to drill holes in your firewall to bolt it up with the supplied brackets. My booster brackets bolt to the firewall using existing holes. Then you can use either an aftermarket booster or one of the many, many compatible factory boosters. Which booster to choose will depend on how much vacuum your engine makes. If it is too low on vacuum, you might consider a hydroboost. For the master cylinder, the '77-'82 Corvette master is the most common one to use. Then you will need either a fixed disc/disc proportioning valve or an adjustable valve in the rear line.

I do have another question for you! I am going with Wilwood disk brakes front and rear (Pro1 kit from ProPerformance) what is the best master cylinder/booster setup to use? Should I go with something from CPP or is there a better option with your bracket?
