Default Brake booster on a Full Drag Car?

I an finnishing up on the mods on my Full Drag Crx and the chassis builder asked me about my brake booster, if i was gonna leave it on or take it off. Any all motor or Force induced guy out there with probs with it bieng there or not being there? Again this is not on a street driven car, so if possible could only the full drag car people respond to this or any one with first hand knowledge. Thanks...

yea i guess, i'll give kens a call and see what they have done to the master cyl to make sure you have enough brake force with that master cyl minus the booster, cause it looks like they just made a bracket so it would sit flush with the fire wall. you ever removed the vac line going to your booster and tried to stop, aint happening... any one using the kens set up?

well yes i guess i could push harder. I can also change the pivot angle on the brake pedal so that my foot has more pressure on the master cyl push rod. but i just wanted to hear what every one else was doing. thanks
