I thank you all...a bunch of good stuff to ponder.

I don't currently have a booster of any kind. I do have a Wilwood master and I believe it's a 7/16" diameter piston which was said to be sized for manual brakes. I understand that this may not be reusable with a power system and I'm ok with that.

There were a number of questions asked here about the engine setup/dyno info so I'll just put the dyno sheet down below. There is a "PanVac" Hg which I don't think is what's being asked for here. I did call the shop yesterday and asked if vacuum was something that was recorded unfortunately it was not. In talking with the builder he said it's hard to tell strictly from specs but as some have you have noted, the cam for a motor of this displacement is rather mild. It really did idle surprisingly smoothly. He thought it might have enough vacuum but also said it could be marginal...couldn't tell until it was measured.

I know now that this is a stretch of a question to ask.

I'll just post the dyno sheet here. There's a few things on here I'm not sure what they mean to be honest.
