Got the cooler, filter, temp switch, and braided lines installed today, now just have to put some other peices back on and wire the switch and we'll test next Saturday.

Update: received the rest of the new parts this week, so will start to instal them today. I bought a cooler fan combo, magnetic ps filter, inline on/off temp switch, and 20' 3/8" braided line kit. I will post pics as peices get installed.

We used to run a hydraulic hughes cam something like .555/.560. Then on the last update I bought a comp cams hydraulic roller with basically the same specs, the engine also has 1.6 rockers so it works out to about .590/.600 lift.

I just ordered the oil cooler fan combo for the hydro-boost / PS pump, so when it arrives in a couple weeks I'll add its instal with pics here.

The car has 1 3/4" Hooker super comp headers,walker mufflers, 3" exhaust the whole way to the tips out to the bumper, and electric solenoid dumps.

While warming up the car this morning I recorded the exhaust tone. Here is the video

Here's a video from last year when the brakes wouldn't hold

All lines are now installed, so later I will fill the PS pump bleed air out of the system and bleed the brakes and hopefully the rain will stop here so I can try this thing.

another update; Its all slowly coming together. I made the new lines at work today, and will get everything installed in the next couple of days after work. I also received the booster return line fitting today too! I should be able to road test this thing on Saturday.

Got the GM pump mounted today, so will take all my measurements for the new hoses. Also picked up another hydroboost core today for $20.

Mid week update; I received the PS pump bracket today and was pleasantly surprised, it is a direct bolt up to the gmc PS pump. Thank you 440 source ! Also received the pressure side -6an fitting for the steering box. Now just waiting on the -6an return fitting for the booster, Amazon said I...

Years ago before we bought the vacuum pump and bendix booster there was a single diaphram booster on the car, and at the time I thought about doing the hydroboost mod because my 98' chevy truck had one, but no one was really doing it back then. Well last summer we had other brake issues so I...

I went to a local auto wrecker and pulled everything off a 2000 gmc duramax, I got the booster,master cylinder,all the hydraulic lines and power steering pump for $150, but I'm making new lines at my work and putting AN fittings in the booster, also I flipped the booster upside down for more...

Update, starting to test fit everything into place. Ordered the P.S. pump bracket last week,hopefully it shoes up next week.
