Quote: "The boost of the dual is considerably more--almost equal to a 10-- than the single according to a guy who published numbers. Was just wondering how that translates to real world. I would think that it should make a big difference since the BTV was approx 5 1/2 albeit with a smaller diameter cylinder which throws another variable in."


I don;t see what single line cylinder vs dual line cylinder has to do with the amount of boost ASSUMING same diameter MC's are used.


Bottom line: my F explorer conversion is just as good as any other modern day car with dual line MC in terms of feel and sensitivity and stopping power. Just as good as my very pristene low mileage original 01 Dodge ram 1500 and pristene original low mileage 89 Caprice or ANY other modern cars i've driven with power brakes.
