I have a Hydraulic power brake booster. It was one of the best mods I did to my car. A lot of other guys have done it too. I have a bunch of info on it if you want to PM me your email address I'll send you a ZIP folder with lots of info and pics.

Also, check out this site. Keith can sell you all the braking products you need for your Vette. He even has the Hydroboosters.

I always thought that my 79 brakes were OK. That is up untill I really started using them road racing.

Look at this post

There was a guy I seem to remember who put C5 brakes and master in his Vette. Said the brakes got worse.

I'm running the stock brakes. They work fine for me for autocross.

Road racing, though... Probably boil the brake fluid.
