Gotcha. Gotta get dyno time to dial in the factory setup.
Is the Fast tuned by laptop or a handheld tuner?

Almost done with the efi swap. When I knock that out I'm putting the hydroboost setup I built for it on.

A quick pic of the hydroboost and cable accelerator pedal I made for the efi swap. Been busy doing remodeling projects and getting ready for the baby so I haven't done much to this truck. At least I have been doing a little to my crew cab build so not all is lost. Lol

Love the progress you have done :thup: . By the way what model and year vehicle did you get your hydroboost from?

Another question is what modifications will it take to make it work for ya?

Hydroboost from a astro van and a 77 Corvette master cylinder. Modified BC Broncos mounting plate and had to drill out the hole in the boosters rod to fit my bolt. There is plenty of information on these swaps on the internet and go from there.

I'm going to bend up some new lines for the master cylinder. I'm also thinking about putting a an adjustable proportioning valve to fine tune the rear brakes

I was looking back through your build the other day and was wondering about your seat? I know you said it's out of a 95, but what cover did you use? or is it one the upholstery had?
