Default Hydroboost on 4th Gen Camaros

I wanted to put a HB unit in a 3rd gen (4th gen the same) Camaro and found Butch @ Tallon to make up a mounting plate for the HB guy. Butch machined up a great piece made here in the USA by folks who know their craft. I will post the link to the 3rd gen web site thread that has all of the information and pictures attached to the thread so I don't have to repeat all of the details here in this Forum. The HB setup is a better setup then the factory vacuum assist and will work with high lift cams. It will make your 4th gen car stop on a dime and give you some change.

Nope....not sure how many guys have actually installed one or really have a "need" for one. Nasty huge cams that kill vacuum, love the extra stopping power or in my case, an intake that would drive this direction.

I could post up a few points of interest, but pretty straight forward if you can read and assemble SS lines/fittings.

^^^ probably a little heavier, but not by much. Combination of cast and billet aluminum adds up. Pretty stout...
