I saw the Hydra brake kit for 500 and it looks like it would work with boosted or big cam cars that are losing the brake power. It runs off the power steering pump and takes away the brake booster for a cleaner look. I think I might get this to get rid of that ugly brake booster. The only thing that scares me is the ford powersteering pump really sucks.

Maximum motorsports sells a really good power steering pump/ kit that is really heavy duty. try that its alot of $$$ but in my case it was worth it and you also have to get rid of your AC

Do a search in the 5.0 Tech section. It seems that I recall using the 94-95 Mustang pump in eariler models fixed some of the pump problems and was a bolt up swap.
