My name is Not Arnold and I don't have superhuman leg strength (I leg
press 800lbs) But from day one I have disabled my bomb because I hate
power assist brakes... The vacume booster on my old Coupe was disabled
as was the booster on my Z-car.... To top it off no race car that I have
drivin in the last 5 years has had power assist on the brakes either.
It's all a matter of personal preference.
Later!
