Man, I have hydroboost on my express 2500--that's loaded with weight, and it stops amazingly quick. Excellent upgrade.

That’s awesome! Anything has to be better than what I have right now. Damn pedal is almost to the floor at times. Had a bit of a scare a couple weeks ago when I accelerated to get past some people (you know, new found power you didn’t have before), and tried to brake at 90 mph to a dead stop, wasn’t sure if I was gonna make it for a second!



What year do you have?

The exact reason I ponied up for a Wilwood kit. If you’re gonna accelerate like a beast you need to stop like one too.

I think the pedal difference is the tough part. Different pivot point, and you need to modify that to work in the factory location IIRC.
