Hydroboost Conversion Install

Can I ask why this is such a big deal for people to convert? I mean I have no issues with stopping my truck at all. Pedal feels fine IMO( recently did new slotted/dimpled rotors), but so has the other GM trucks I have driven with the norm brakes on them. I am sure that stainless lines would make it even better. Not sure what I am missing, but is converter that much better? Sorry for digging at such a long thread, I have never really paid mind to the post or the fact of ever wanting to do this..

I am well aware of that but if your not running some huge donkey dick came with a 109lsa its not much of a issue. Again my exp in a few trucks was the brakes felt fine. I am running a cam that is on a 112lsa and never had a issue, infact it holds very good vacuum.. I dunno, seems more trouble then it's worth.

my swaps complete, all i can say is wow, i went to stop the first time, trying what i was used to being "hard braking" and it went straight into an abs skid. huge improvement! oh and i was able to use the p/s lines from a tahoe with a steering gearbox on my rack without having to bend the lines, everything worked out perfect! hardest part was removing the bolt to swap too the hydroboost pedal. damn thing had red locktite on it

now i have a weird problem, it seems like my brake pedal isn't coming all the way up, its happened a few times now, but i will be driving on the freeway, and i can feel some resistance like im riding the brake pedal, i can reach down and pull up on the pedal and it will come up very little, and the drag will be gone, any ideas?

power steering
how would the install change, if the upgraded power steering pump was put in?
would you still need the clamps and T fitting?
and any tips on finding an upgraded brake pedal? junkyards are scarce where im from
