wound up being a major PITA to make right. Removing the booster made the car difficult to stage even for Doug so I've spent the last couple of days "re-engineering" the stock pedal assy. The OEM assy. is quite complicated so I went to my favorite place (junkyard) and got another Cavalier assy. and an 80s Camaro assy. and "blended" the two together. I now have a 6-1 pedal ratio (OEM was between 3+ 4-1) and a nice feeling brake pedal.
My plans for this week are to build a couple of different collectors and see if I can make the header work a bit better.
