Weird prob after cam swap So today i was just moving the car around the garage and the brake pedal went hard and i was leaking a little brake fluid leaking on the floor. The leak was coming from somewhere on the passenger side near the ac pump.. i couldnt see any lines in that area. I guess im having vacuum issues since its such a big cam? what do you guys think?

ya.. it did both.. couldnt find a leak anywhere. the fluid is really out of place but it has to be coming from somewhere. Ill get a better look 2mrw. How much vacuum do our cars need for the brakes to work properly?

cars dont need much vacuum at all to make a vacuum booster work, the lower the vaccuum the less power the power brakes will assist. There is a brake line running under your engine through the subframe if you didnt already know that, just makin sure
