Brake booster (again)
So, a couple weeks ago, I replaced the original booster with a rebuilt unit from autozone. It took forever to change out, and the brake pedal was significantly lower. 
So, I bought the metal one that all you guys were referring to and installed it last night (I'm getting pretty good at this now.)
It does fit perfectly and I like the Cadmium? plating on the metal housing. http://www.hotrodsusa.com/store/product341.html
So - I'd recommend the less expensive, proper fitment aftermarket booster made of metal...

and they certainly can take the heat better than those plastic puppies!

Sorry I got the information on hotrod USA's product to you after you bought the other one - but at least you have it right now - (I like the metal finish also - and after 6 months see no evidence of rust)
So bring your baby down to Atwater March 19th - run an autoX and really test out those brakes! It only costs 30 bucks - alot of fun for the money!
