Anybody know anything about having the h-booster ported for less restriction?
I've thought about trying ram assist to help turn with the detroit in the front.
Thoughts??.

Porting the Hboost is not a good idea. Unless you really know what your doing the results are disastrous. As Hboost does not take anything out of the PS system when it is not being used there is little use in doing the porting, a waste of time in my opinion.
Ram Assist has been done with Hboost and a Saginaw pump. I am sure some of the guys that have done this will chime in with their thoughts on the setup.

I wasn't going to attempt to port the booster myself. I was reading on Pirate about http://www.vancopbs.com/ I need to email them to see how much they charge:-X A few people said it helped with power steering assist while hard on the brakes.. when I go to do all this I really only want to plumb it and bleed it out one time..That almost never works for me. I'm really more worried I may be biting off more than my ford pump can chew, although I've never had an issue with it..I'm just looking for opinions

Since we're on this Hydro questions game.. When you put on does the Brake pedal location stay the same.. Meaning the distance from the floor Is the pedal pad in the same location.. Since I've had my Bronco apart for the 4BT swap now the brake pedal is about an inch above clutch pedal.. Making me lift my foot more than I'd like too.. When I was putting it together. I thought it was my clutch just lower because of the slave set up..
... But if I install a hydro can it go straight in the same location and straight to the brake pedal and be about 2 inches lower..
..That was easy.
