TPJ- I checked the vacuum at the booster, over 20. I tied the electric booster pump into the line that comes off the manifold in case the pump ever fails I don't want to be left with no brake vacuum. I also put a check valve in the manifold line so as not to upset the engine vacuum. Never thought about check brake pressure at booster and calipers, I will look into that.

Feet- That's quite a thread. I will definitely check the pedal ratio.

Thanks for all the feedback.
