Default Need help with Hydroboost problems

On my LS conversion I've got both a Hydroboost and a FR Rack. I've never operated a Hydroboost so I'm not sure how it should feel.

Anyway, if the engine stalls, I have very little brakes. Is that normal?

I can also feel the pedal pumping if I'm braking and turning. Brakes actually get stronger. ????

I've also notice that when I back up they get stronger, and even seem to stay engaged. The pedal doesn't feel like it returns correctly. This only happens when I'm backing up.

Are these all signs of the "hydraulic system" still not begin fully bled yet?

I just went on 2 five mile drives. Brakes are not right. Sometimes they are solid, 2 miles later I'm not sure if they are going to work better than 25%.

If I'm braking and turning, I feel the pressure build. Sometimes even grabbing.

Not sure what to do?

Default Check the runout

Runout is a big issue. I had a bent hub and this threw me for a loop for a while. And yes the hubs are made of gold.

So the trick is to fix it before you runout of money?
