I can say for sure that the 02 Dodge Ram I had with 4 wheel disks, stopped 100% better than the 82 B250 van or even the 85 Ramcharger I was driving previously.
There's sooo much involved when relating the brake pedal feel to brake performance. Did you know that when you apply the brakes in a power brake system, you don't actually feel the brakes applying with your foot? What you feel is feedback built into the booster by engineers so you can easily gauge how to match pedal application to applied braking. On forums folks will say over and over that converting from vacuum brakes to hydroboost made the brakes work better. The truth is the brakes don't change much but the pedal feedback is very different. In many cases switching to a larger vacuum booster could have accomplished the same result with less work.
