If your engine doesnt produce enough vacuum, a swap to hydroboost is a good idea. I really dont notice a huge difference in brake performance in my vehicles based on booster type. If you want to swap to disc or hydroboost, you cant really beat factory parts for reliability and serviceability. A rear disc axle swap to a newer one with a parking brake is a good idea, its the one thing im lacking and I dont like about my 14 bolt rear disc swap on my k20. I will add I have had no better performance than the original drums after the swap.
