If you use a dual-master with balance bar, you CANNOT use a booster- there 
just isn't room to mount it (except remotely); ideally you'd need one for 
each master anyway. So yes- people don't install boosters with that setup. You 
can sorta get an idea how things will feel by pulling the booster vacuum 
line off & plugging it, then going for a drive. Changing from a 
stock-but-unboosted master to dual masters will change the feel a little but not that 
much. The dual-master setup is really designed to function as a lighter brake 
master assembly AND a more efficient proportioning valve all in one, and you 
pick your master cylinder bore sizes and calipers to get the best stopping 
power your leg can live with. Good luck- J Deryke
