Power brakes with a 270 cam?

[68converted]

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I would need to do anything special with front disc/rear drum and a power booster? The car is a 5.0L with RPM2 intake and a xtreame energy 270 cam. The power booster is from an 80's Mustang and the MC is the unit for a Maveric. Will I have enough vacume? Thanks for the info.

you should have plenty of vacuum with a 270 duration cam. i have a 290/300 adv. duration cam and have plenty of vacuum for power brakes.

You need 10"-12" of vacuum for power brakes without special equipment. The cam Mfg. will be able to tell you what to expect for vacuum.

Not sure what (10-12" s) means. I could not find anything on the website about the cam and vacume

No problem with a 270 cam. I ran a Ford Z303 roller in my Ranger wuth power brakes and it worked fine.

I used to run a Comp cams 270 Magnum solid lifter cam and it had 18" vacuum at idle. Power brakes were not a problem. I now run a 290/300 and it's fine too.

No, no, no... Just have not posted a question in a while and was reminded of your wisdom looking at some of my past posts. My simple minded way of saying thanks for all your help on the forum! Much appreciated.
