i got a low break pressure at idle and kinda think its caused by my cam and low vacume from it
when car it off and i pump the brakes itgets hard and stays
so i dont think i got a fluid leak fluid is full
has anyone installed a vacuum resevoir to help power breaks with a big cam?
how hard of an install and how did it work out?

How big is your cam, and how much vaccum are you producing. BTW using punctuation makes it easier to read posts.

its an 91 auto vert black black. higher torque converter and transgo shift kit. flowmaster exhaust force2. and bad breaks at idle and it runs cold need 180 thermostat
