'85 Extra cab booster upgrade question

Calling all 7M swapped second gens!
I have an '85 Extra cab with a 7M swapped in. I would like to put in the dual diaphragm booster as I am installing the big V6 calipers, FJ rotors with the Sky axle widening kit. A problem I could see in the future is clearance between the intake and booster. As it is there is only about 1" of room. I know I'll need to remove my upper intake to swap it out but I would like to know if anyone has done this with the 7M. I just like to get all my stuff in order before I take on a mod.

I'm running v6 calipers front and rear with fj40 rotors in the front and v6 rotors in the rear (fror full float kit) with an fj80 MC and a factory booster and have no issues.

I'd like to try to keep a friendly pedal effort. It's my DD and my wife occasionally drives it as well. I guess I'll just have to see how it feels once everything is installed.

I drive mine every day, all year long. My girlfriend complains that the pedal is too soft compared to her car.

Nice! I'd like it to be softer than it is now so this should work out great. Also less work is a bonus.
