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!
