Brake boosting is a complicated thing.

If you aren't going positive pressure and going thru the brakes, it's still possible you could do better with hydroboost, but you aren't losing brake power from lack of vacuum.

Converter could be too tight. But beware, if converter becomes too loose, you'll be losing tons of power thru heat down the track.

Transbrake is ideal.

Whats your trap speed

Depends...that was a 4wd. Torque distributed to all corners with all of them fed by hydroboost which will continue clamping hard as vacuum goes away. If youre 2wd, may not work so well...but hydroboost does still help.

114. 3-4 shift needs some work though and it may be pulling timing up top.

HAHA yes. I think ill be doing the rear shock relocation first with some better shocks , then I'll try a two-step and if the brakes push through then ill get the hydro boost.
