Tom - THANKS!

I appreciate your support. I really hope that things start to work out for you - it sounds like they are headed that way. The reaction time leaves a bit to be desired.

Anyway, it's the electric pump for me. I have no extra room for the belt driven option - BBF 460. I'll post the results after the install.

But from what I've read on this very informative thread (and the conversation we had) - the vac boost to 12 - 13 inches will improve peddle feel and sustain that feel during the low RPMs encountered during the act of stopping the car - giving the car a completely predictable brake - as opposed to the peddle kind of feathering with the idle of the car (the way it is now).

Additionally, at some point I'll be in a position to scrap the whole system, and install some real "supercar" type brakes, calipers, rotors, lines, and master cylinder. If someone here could put together a turnkey system from top to bottom for these later generation SPF cars like mine and yours - I'll bet the could sell a couple 100 sets, and maybe even market them as upgrades to the dealers too!

Buddy - Thanks for your help. All the Best.

Mark
