Re: 30% More Powerful-New 1/2T Power Brake Sys

What size is the booster and the master cylinder's bore diameter? And the system is 30% better than what? I assume that's relative to some of the aftermarket kits that don't properly size the master cylinder and booster.

I ask because my 69's stock 71-72 master cylinder, booster, and disc/drum brakes will just about put me through the windshield!

That said, the factory did a much better job than the aftermarket does today. Way too many improperly sized boosters and master cylinders, and "one size fits all" fixed-pressure proportional valves used by default. I like that yours was designed specifically for our trucks, and fits without mods.
