Default Big cam guys, how to increase vacuum for brakes.

Tried listing this ? in the brake section with no luck. Thought here would be a better option. What are you large cam guys doing to increase vacuum to your power brake booster? I have a vacuum box connected to the intake & the brake booster. There just isn't that power brake feeling in the pedal.

Properly seal and calibrate front /rear ratios with proportioning valve.

Yah, I've got one, & it made a descent improvement. There's just not that light pedal pressure grab that you get with good negative vacuum pressured power brakes. Sounds like it's a vacuum pump or leave it as is.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it.

I also found better response with stainless brake hose at calipers.
