How about his statement that the stock factory Pantera had 440 hp?

Sorry, deleted Larry's original email with the link to the Youtube
video, but...
What kind of -crap- was that guy talking about in the video? Larry, I'd
hunt that guy down and kick his ever living ass!
I have -never- heard anyone talk about stock Pantera brakes being so bad
that they sounded dangerous from the factory. I've run my Pantera at
open track events, working the brakes hard, and even harder and never
had an issue... and I'm running stock calipers, stock master and stock
vacuum booster. His "testimony" just to sell his booster product is
like listening to Ralph Nader talk about Corvairs. And to show how much
he knows about Panteras, he say all you have to do is hook up his
product to the power steering pump.
It is... to laugh.
Yes, your car looked awesome in the video, but the crap he spews makes
it look like a death trap and seriously puts a huge tarnish on the
reputation of Panteras.
Hunt him down and kick his ass!

Incorporating an electric vacuum pump may be adding unnecessary
complexity to your car. What carburetor are you using? Is it a
Holley?
