removing brake booster? i know the 3rd gen cars have a brake booster removal kit with pedal modifications necessary but is any body removing them from 98+ f bodies?
i know this would give some more room to use head studs.

How much harder is it to stop with the booster off the car really? I mean with skinnies on all the time, I know to take alot more care as to stopping distances on teh street, and the first turnoff at my local track, I usually never even try I just take my time and go to the last one.... anyone that's done away with the booster post up.
Also, what's the weight loss from ditching that thing?

i have the strange master also, i've heard that it is good to move the hole in the pedal (where it attaches to the plunger) up an inch or so to get the right angle etc. i've seen a few friends with manual brakes on their new fbody and had no problems on the street, especially if you are running a good quality set of brakes such as the aerospace front drag brakes.
