Default Vacuum pumps

pooreds If you are looking for an assistance pump, they have small ones that mounted to the GM diesel motors in the 80-early90's. They have gone to electric ones that work on the demand only when needed. If your car has a P/S system, the better thing if you have the room, is to add a hydro boost system to the car. Your caliper force is a question, the clamping force does increase, but not double. When you get to 3 and cup calipers they have different size cups to even out the pressure on the pads. I also think you can over brake the car with 14" rotors and 6-8 cup calipers. Most cars have an ABS system, If you have one no problem if not, you may have to learn about controlling lockup. Rick L
