Very interesting. Anyone know the price?
Kit prices are on their website. Not what I'd call cheap.
The great thing is even if you loose power you have 10+ braking events left.

So can anyone clarify with 100% accuracy the proper size Master for Carbsters 71? I'm working on his rebuild. The hydroboost is in and it looks awesome! I'm going to look into CRC power steering pumps as well.

You need a cylinder with a 1.12" bore. If you are going with a Wilwood the part number is 260-8556. If you want a polished aluminum cylinder then add a 'P' to the Wilwood number. If you are planning on using a C3 cylinder it needs to be 1977 or later to accomodate the rod in the hydroboost.
