Well, unplug your vacuum hose from your brake booster (make sure to plug the hose or you'll have a big vacuum leak
) and drive around in traffic like that and see if you like it.
Pros:
1. supposedly you get a truer feel of how to break your car
2. cleaner engine bay supposedly
3. one less place to develop a vacuum leak and mysterious idling issues to come along with such leaks

Actually it didn't feel that bad, just had to get used to it a little.

Usually the ratios of the stock pedal assemblies are made specifically for booster setups. If you ever look into a race pedal set, you can pick your leverage ratio for a boosterless setup, this helps pedal feel a lot. Most stock ones don't feel right just removing the vacuum hose.

If you do Id junk the stock master and get on with a bigger bored the the stock unit had. It will help transfer fluid better.
