losing brakes after full throttle
My power brakes are fading for a bit after a full throttle pull. Doesnt have to be a long one either, maybe 5 secs. It happened at the track couple weeks back and i almost ran off the pavement. Doesnt do it at all normal driving.
I know old school stuff lost vaccuum to the booster when you had a large cam, but mine is stock. Is my booster going bad?
Thanks

This afternoon when i did it, i ran it up in first, shifted to 2, the squeezed it down to WOT then shifted to 4 or 5 probably just to get the rpm down without "jake braking it".

Probably a bad booster check valve. Take it off and see if you can blow through it both ways. It should be 100% solid one way, and open the other way. If you can push any air though it the wrong way, it's allowing you to lose vacuum out of the booster at WOT, which is what it sounds like is happening.

Well i blew through my check valve, and it doesnt allow 1 bit of air through in one direction.
Even had a nice vacuum in the booster when i pulled it out. What else could it be?
