Hi Mike
A hydro boost can be mounted in any position frame rails included.
A remote master cylinder is no problem but you should use a 1.125 dia piston power brake master.
The pedal feel is very light a touch of your foot on the brake pedal will stop most rods out there in normal driving.Its just like a Ford super duty with a diesel motor. As far as distance goes it would depend on what other baking components you have installed. A mid 80s corvette 6 piston caliper large rotor will stop like a super car with a hydro boost. I dont want to get in trouble with this site but you contacted me so
