Electric PS & PB

My builder is wanting to use the Rubicam r1s electronic power brake booster and power steering pump, it sounds interesting . He said it would brake better and both would come with a **** to adjust the braking and steering.. Now my truck will not be stock at all, It will have a Dart block with ls3 heads and 6 speed automatic. With this power, I would love the extra brake assist and easier steering. Any thoughts on this setup, thanks. L8R ZFLASH

I used a Volvo electric pump for my Toyota power steering box. I think an adjustment **** may be in order. Just a FYI there's additional noise associated with the electric pump, but once the engine starts you can't hear it. I kinda like hearing my electric fuel pump and steering pump before starting the engine.
