Who is running a disk brake conversion with no booster

I want to convert my 72 to discs in the front but the cam that will be in the engine will not work well with a booster. Is there anyone out there that has done a disc brake conversion and ran with no booster? If so who's kit and how do you like it? I do not want to run a pump or can. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks
Jay

I am 100% happy with no booster!

I have said many times, the 4 wheel disc is the best money ever spent on my car 'PERIOD"!

You could get stock non-boosted disc brakes on Novas.

I am running no boost on mine. I am running the BAER setup.

I run no booster. I did a write up in the best of steering and suspension
and list the kit I used from cpp

Aerospace front discs, no booster. No girls drive my car, so no booster is needed.

I was lucky enough to have 15 Hgs of vac on the youngsters car so I put the booster on. I ran a big block with a big cam years back no vac so no booster. As long as you have front disc and the right master cylinder they work good and it has i think a cleaner look. Just remember the manual brake setups used a smaller diameter piston I am quessing to give less pedal effort and higher psi. I tried a M/C that was on a power booster and it required a lot of pedal effort. I would think 4 wheel disc would be awesome power or not.

I am 100% happy with no booster!

Who's brakes are you using Al?

Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, no booster. Works great.

CPP front discs, no booster. Also works great.

Who's brakes are you using Al?


I have Master Power Brake.

I picked them because they are close to me and there units use factory parts. So you can get replacement pads and stuff at your local parts store.
THEY ARE A MANUFACTURE! Not a re-box company!
Their business also is all the NASCAR boys, they are in the middle of Mooresville, NC Race shops. And they are the manufacture of 99.999% of all Kart Racer systems.

Works great!

i am also running in to this situation. i bought a complete set. i got my booster and mast.cyl. from jegs, but in afterthought, im not sure i will be able to get the vacuum i need. so im thinking about just throwing the discs on front and keeping it manual. plus, i did get some 2" drop spindles out of the deal, so i'm happy either way

I do not run a booster either. My kit came from The Right Stuff Detailing. The pedal effort is no different than it was with the 4 wheel drum system but stops much better.

Im halfway there. I run areospace brakes on the front with no booster and I will be ordering thier rear kit soon.

You don't need no steenkin' booster.
(Wildwood 4 wheel disc's w/Wildwood m/c)

Ditto on the Wilwood 4 wheel disc. I have their 7/8" MC as well and my 71 stops great without alot of leg.

I did not run a booster on my set up. 98+ F-body fronts (LS1 car) and 93-97 F-body rears. 73 corvette manual brakes MC, wilwood prop valve. The only thing I would change next time is changing the brake line from the front to the back to a smaller line. I had a hard time getting the rears to lock up even with the prop valve all the way open.

Use a vacuum reservoir if you want power brakes.

I ran one on my loping roller-cammed Elky and the power brakes worked perfectly. I run Wilwood discs on all 4 corners on my 64 with no booster though and they are fine.

no booster on mine 13.5" rotors dual piston calipers, no stopping issues...im running the cpp which the bore is to big so ill be switching to a wilwood 7/8's real soon..those things mob..

just put a wilwood m/c 7/8" bore on it and call it good..you can actually run a m/c with the same bore from like an s10 for about $30. but a small bore works good.
