Depends how much you want to spend.

Hydroboost - $150-200
Transbrake - $600

The transbrake would probably be better ultimately, but the foot brake should be plenty good to hold a significant amount of boost.

I think hydro gives you 2 pluses.
Better brakes
Costs less then tbrake

Trans brake.
Locked down. Build what boost you want.
Just do the line lock diode trick to keep your driveline from relaxing.

I have a vacuum module at the booster but think i can get around that by leaving the module in place to read vacuum.

Crazy how the cost just keeps going up and up huh? Takes a lot to get a heavy EC/CC into the low 10s/9s. If your setup was in a cookie cutter foxbody/f-body, you'd already be well into the 9s, likely 8s.

I still don't know the reason I can foot brake on the street. It take a few seconds and the boost will go up to about 3lb and then spool until I can't holded it. I wish it the weather.

I did some logging on the truck today and I can foot brake boost up to 4lb before it spin up the rear tires. Rpm before spinning the tires 3950rpm. Ordered the 2step today. I'm still on the fence about transbrake or hydroboost.

Oh... I thought you had a 2 step on it! That should help out but I would still do a tbrake on her Mark.
