Hydroboost / Wilwood help.....

[Tim Baillie]

We are upgrading to a Hydroboost system on the 69 Camaro project and I have a bit of a concern. The car has large Wilwood's all the way around and we are going to go with their large Billet Master Cylinder but Wilwood said their systems will only work up to 1200PSI. CPP says their Hydroboost system works at 1300 PSI and claims it is no big deal as they have done lots of Wilwood systems, BUT Wilwood claims we will have lots of issues..............

Thoughts ? What do you guys use ?

Thanks

I'm running the Wilwood tandem master with a Hydratech assist unit and I've had 4,400 trouble free miles this summer. No complaints at all.

Just dont step on the pedal hard!! I know of a Challenger out there that has been done for quite some time with a Hydroboost system and wilwood brakes. It might be that wilwood doent want to be reponsible if anything goes wrong. You really can't blame them.

Wilwood clarified this statement to a mutual customer of ours by stating that this reference is in regards to "sustained pressure".

We have not heard of any problems arising from running this combo - if anybody was going to blow this combo up, it definitely would have been Freiburger while severly punishing the HotRod magazine Project F-Bomb! Dare we say that he has certified this combo? No, but if he couldn't blow it up...

Here's another grossly overpowered and wildly flogged build running this combo:

Matt Delaney and John Clark from Mopar Performance are also guys that "break stuff" - they have been trying like mad and still can't fail this package either.

Now let the attorneys go run around with this one, right?
