Like "teke" said dont worry about it. I have alittle smaller cam then you and i cut my brake booster line in half to plumb in a boost gauge, bypass valve, and pressure switch for fuel system. No problems braking here.

232/234 on a 112 here and no problems with braking. Flush the brake fluid if your worried about a loss in braking power and you'll probably end up better off than before.

The MS4 is not as large as the Vindicator camshaft. The MS4 has better piston to valve clearance, less duration, and made peak torque several hundred rpm lower than the Vindicator camshaft.

That being said you should not have any brake problems. Checking piston to valve is something that you might consider doing, it's a good thing to do with every large cam install.
