I haven't. It doesn't look like it has a vacuum assist. I'll have to explore.
[EDIT]
I found Wilwood. Don't see any info there at all about Hydroboost. Can't find much on INteret either. What is it?

I have used the dual diaphram 7" units, and have been less than pleased with the ammount of boost available. All my future cars will use hydroboost. It takes up less space, and increses boost by almost 30%. Of course, it can only be used if you are going with a power steering setup.

This is no johnny-come-lately technology, GM has been using this setup for many years.
