Re: Brake vacuum
This is the meme I used to send to my friends who insisted I run a vacuum booster on my build, since I'm still thinking of putting a 6-71 supercharger on mine:
In all seriousness, I would probably do away with the vacuum booster if you plan to keep your engine. It's those low speed, in-traffic situations that you'll need the immediate brake response the most. I run a Wilwood MC (no booster) and their 6-piston caliper up front with 4-piston Mark Williams disc brakes out back. Driving in our SoCal traffic, I'm thankful for the instantaneous brake response.
