RE: HydraBoost
I was an engineer at the company that designed and made the hydroboost. With the 4.6l engine, there wasn't enough room under the hood for a vacuum booster, so that was really their only option. They were dying to get rid of it due to the increased cost over a vacuum booster.
*edit*- They've used this part on deisel trucks and some of those full size GM deiselcars due to a lack of manifold vacuum.
