i'm really considering this, my brakes suck already so this would be awesome. and also did we decide you can hold the brakes and hit the gas to do burnouts like at the track? and will this help with my idle? its always dying when i come to a stop to fast or turn and stop with my cam?

I did 124mph burnouts at the track with the hydraboost and no issues. Do you tune the truck yourself? If so you probably need to bump up the idle airflow in gear and park/N.

Sounds like your tune is not the problem then, maybe some other electrical problem. At idle I can notice a very small increase in load on the engine stepping on the brakes when the hydraboost builds pressure.

i have been trying to find horror stories of hydroboost failures and cant. think about all those diesel and hd guys...every 2500hd, 3500, 1500hd etc comes with hydroboost.

i cant wait to put mine in...just need to get all the parts together and a free saturday. also adding stainless lines and considering the SSBC +1 kit. it is on ebay for about $600. includes 4 14" rotors and 4 caliper relocation brackets. better deal the baer, stillen, brembo or powerslot.
