Default brake upgrades

i want to improve the braking on my 94 k1500. i've already swapped the rotors for drilled and slotted ones, and performance pads. but am still not happy with the braking. i am building a 14 bolt with discs for the rear, but are there any upgrades to the booster/master cylinder or other hydraulic components i can do that will help it stop faster? thanks.

it gets it pressure from the power steering pump. seach the junk yards for the hoses . or local parts house . the hoses get daisy chained threw the new hydroboost . this will add 2-3 times the braking force.

changing out your rubber hoses to stainless steel brake lines helps out also..
