111LSA = Brake issues? Since I'm about to be running a 228/236 111 cam, it was suggested to me that I might have brake problems.
Anyone have issues? anyone solve it with a brake booster of some sort?
thanks again,

Re: 111LSA = Brake issues? I hate to be ignorant but why do you believe that a cam selection will affect the braking performance?
They are isolated components that don't operate symbiotically.

Obviously Obvious, I guess you could ask the tuner you got it from???
Anyone know the minimum vaccum required to keep the brake booster working???
