I had one on my old Challenger with the purple shaft. It kinda worked, but when I swapped in a booster from a 78 Newport the bizznatch would stand on it's nose. I don't think there's a bigger booster we can swap into our trucks, but the Hydroboost conversion seems to be pretty badass according to Atomic and KySilverado.

Here ya go! Atomic did it for 200 bones with junkyard parts, as opposed to a G note for new.

Hydroboost no doubt. I can brake boost 12# from a dead stop and brakes hold no problem

Chop saw and a grinder. Maybe a little paint to make it look nice afterwards
