Re: vacuum pump clacker

["Gary G. Erickson" <erickson@teleport.com>]

Nathan, Pat,

My GT is currently running w/o the piston for the vacuum pump, and has
been for two years now.  I didn't notice any difference in braking
except that the pedal feels firmer while you're sitting at a stoplight. 
A plus in my book.

I don't think you'll notice any loss at all.  At speed you have the
assistance from the intake, and at stop it doesn't take much pressure to
stay stopped.  Especially if you are running anything better than the
stock pads.

HTH!
