Justin,
Didn't know you never had power brakes before. I assumed you were upgrading from vac booster. The difference must be
. I swapped to vac power brakes soon after going to 33's, I can't even remember driving it without power brakes. I upgraded to h-boost when the vac booster went bad, every time I hit the brakes w/ no gas, the motor died. That was fun. I remember putting my h-boost in and taking it for its first run outside the body shop. After a couple dry runs, making sure the truck had brakes, I tried a panic stop from about 30 mph. Had everyone in the shop laughing when I pretty much stood the Bronco on its nose, and almost sent me and my passenger through the windshield.Must feel like the difference when I finally upgraded to power steering after years of strong arming it around.
My original set up had a very touchy pedal, but I got used to it. I felt it was a lot like my 83 911 w/no power brakes. Recently, I upgraded to the T-bird front calipers (78/79 F150 disks), with a larger capacity, huge single piston. Since they use more fluid to push the huge piston, the pedal stroke is longer & less on/off. It also pulled my brake bias forward, but I think that was necessary because I'm running a disk/disk master cylinder (99 Mustang), but drum rears.
