I'm extremely impressed at the speed of this. Is there any noticeable effect in stopping distances?

I want to put the car on a roller brake test to get reliable measurements.

The car never had a working vacuum booster as far as I can tell. It was leaking air, causing the engine to run rough when I pressed the brake pedal. So I don't really have a comparison.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement to go through with this. I probably wouldn't have done it if wasn't for the support I got here.
