Brake assist

i have disc brakes all around my blazer and was wondering how much a difference brake assist would make over original power brakes?

Re: Brake assist

for daily driving. the hydro boost brakes. only thing that i can see is for cams that dont produce enough vacuum. is is better for braking? but i would think not just cause our trucks are not anti brakes.

Re: Brake assist

Brake assist makes a big difference. Hydroboost does not make a big difference relative to vacuum assist unless it's not working right (ie: low vacuum). ABS isn't really part of the equation here.

If you don't have a booster, yes, it'd be a big change. If you already have a vacuum booster, no, it won't. Unless you have a lot of cam.
