im supposed to be baggin a 4 door blazer on 22s here shortly and we are planning on running the astro-van hydroboost. i think in streetrodder ive seen 7" boosters for like $100-150. which aint too bad. but h/b will definately give you the most room.

You can check my prices and compare them to others and they are very comparable. If not the best.

So do we! I usually make a deal on a booster master combo. That is if the customer wants the best we offer.

DO NOT USE A GEO BOOSTER....no offense to those are using them and dont give me that "well they work" crap. Becasue they dont work well enough. same with the Chevette booster. I dont know about you all but i like knowing i can stop and value my life and my truck too much to skimp on the brakes

If you want to stop, go with hydroboost, the corvette, a street rod 8" DUAL DIAPHRAGHM booster or an 8" S-10 booster...GM code "JM5". the 8" S-10 booster even uses the stock master cylinder. you can pick one up from a junkyard for 30 bucks and it stops like a dream

We have the 7" Boosters  and M/C's in stock and ready to ship....these units are commonly used on early model Chevy's and will us the GM Bolt Pattern. On your application it should be all bolt up, shouldn't have to make any modifications...I can also get you the full assemble that has the pedal and all if you need it. http://waylayedinc.com/Store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=29&zenid=snu7hi6l64d2k5q4ll5q30vf31

I did a right hand drive conversion on my 96 and was basically trying to keep a stock look under the hood. I have no problem spending money on all these other systems but the metro booster is 6 3/4'' in diameter and it had no clearance issues. On the issue of not being able to stop, when installing the booster I actually received just as much if not more stopping power. The application works fine it is all about who installs it. Now I would not install a Geo booster in a fullsize, that just does not make sense. For those that are trying to cut cost and people are telling them that it does not work, there is a reason that someone tried it. It does work, but then again it is only my 2 cents
