I only rolled about 10 feet on my driveway playing around testing it. It does give more braking action then when there was no vacuum hooked up.
Could somebody give me more information on what it would take to swap out the brake booster for Manual Brakes, or have an adapter plate? I don't quite get it.

You've got two options.
1) Find a master cylinder with a smaller piston bore. That'll give you more line pressure with less pedal effort. I suggest racing supply sources to find something like this. Summit racing shows as small as 3/4".

2) Move the pedal pivot point down, closer to the master cylinder. Thus, giving the pedal more leverage on the cylinder piston.
