Totally agree and those that did use the 1:1 ratio I think should be keeping their fingers crossed.

What I was referring to is without the large vacuum booster anyone with 12v and contemplating a change could take advantage of the smaller master in the Electro-boost system to raise it up and possibly use the space between the vent and steering column. That way you could get a decent ratio possibly without losing the vent and also not have as much interference with other close by objects as there would be with a large diameter vacuum booster and long overall assembly to contend with.

As to the weak pedal arm, that is probably a valid concern. A few vent installs have used Ford Ranger pickup pedals and at least one used a 70-80s Chevy setup with the extra wide pedal.
