Hydroboost system fixed all that, but obviously not a cheap alternative. Works good though.

Interesting. I would have to suspect there may have been something else off, and the hydroboost masked it. Maybe pin depth/contact is off?

I'm pulling like 13", have a C6 front brake setup on front, 98 SS rear setup, and it def locks 'em up.

Have one on the 442, it has about 14.5", and it will throw you thru the windshield if youre not careful.

I know there was a rash of bad new boosters, maybe you got one of those...

RIght Stuff claims 'no' and wouldn't replace. I am in agreement that it was probably inferior, but wasn't willing to throw more money at it/to them.

I do like the hydroboost and since my GTO is a little left of center (although NM engine/drivetrain), it's all good.

Now to get the failing upper ball joints replaced <sigh>.
