Frank,
Removal of the Booster does make a HUGE difference, just try by passing it
and then hook it back up again, there is a tremendous change, obviously it
has to be operating properly.
I do not suggest removal as your brake response is firm but not the proper
stopping power.
Jan... (just an opinion, and not a professional one)
