Aluminum 454 Build
Lil the electric boost system has an accumulator that maintains pressure for 10-15 full power braking cycles, after that your braking system becomes a manual braking system...still able to stop, just have to put some muscle behind it...

I got the Turn One power steering pump for Corvette set-up didn't like the alternator at the bottom of the engine. I got U, but try giving someone a call about how you could run the Hydra Booster.....There is none better and it's cheap for what U are getting...I purchased mine some time back...But with a few ???? it may work out to your Benefit.
Yeah I thought about that but I don't think that will work with the billet specialties tru track set up that I will be running....and I am not changing that...it's looking like the ABS electric boost system is the best bet...looks like a really clean install too
Yes I saw that setup...I realize that the hyrdoboost system runs off of the power steering system...I just can't run the hydroboost braking system with the billet specialties tru track power steering system, as stated on the billet specialties website, as well as in the instructions that came with the kit...

Tim stated that there are so many brake boosters on the market that they don't do it....But the blue print is this it puts out 1200 psi @ 3 1/2 gall per min. U would need something less or have a valve to adj. press.
Also 3 fittings for the Reservoir tank and U running may be a little more complicated but you could always go the the other route

Yeah it seems like my best bet is the ABS electric boost system...I have read some good reviews...haven't found any bad so far....I think I am going to give ABS a call or shoot them an email to see what the price is on a set up for the chevelle
Ok well I am getting close to getting my radiator ordered....I have been going back and forth with the guys at Be Cool and we have come up with this as being my best option...It is a ls swap radiator with both inlet and outlet on the passanger side and the internal trans cooler on the drivers side...The price point is a bit high compared to the non ls swap setup, so I am contemplating going the non ls swap setup and finding hoses that will work...

Also I came up with a plan for the radiator....I am thinking I am going to go with the Be Cool 82208 which is the ls swap radiator with internal trans cooler, but I am going to special order it to have -20AN fittings on both the inlet and out let....at a price of around $1550 with the -20AN fittings from the factory I can't beat it...I am planning on getting the press in -20AN fitting for the water pump off ebay, along with the bolt on -20AN thermostat housing....Has anyone used these ebay fittings? Any opinions on this plan?

Will let you know...He is thinking 750hp at the crank will be about the top I can get out of the engine and that is with a solid roller cam set up....It is exciting to be taking this next step with the build...hopefully I can get the short block ordered after christmas and have the heads coming together around the same time....
