Thank you
Steve

With a nice free-flowing dual exhaust system you'll never hear it ;D
It depends where you mount the pump. Not too many options with a big block with headers. As for the manual steering and brakes. Are you indicating it came from Shelby like that? I have 16.5" of vacuum at idle and the booster works fine.

Where is yours located? I'm thinking maybe in the trunk or under the rear seat?

The booster pump is connected in the middle of the line from the intake to the power booster. Upside down on the left side of the trans to the floorboard is the only position I have seen one mounted it. It was relatively small, but I always wondered how easy FOD could wind up hitting the pump while driving.
