Default 383 stroker problem

well one day it was fine then all of a sudden it lost power and i thought it could be the vacuum because of my brakes like every time im at a stop sign and push on the brakes my car would pull. so i replaced the master cylinder and then replace the brake booster and it still did it so i thought maybe it could be a vaccum issue cause i heard a vaccum issue could make u loose horsepower.

do you have anything to scan the ecm with?
if not a easy way to check for a vacuum leak is to use a propane torch. cut the torch on but don't light it. with the propane flowing out move the torch around the engine slowly. listen for the idle to change. if it does you found it, if not you don't likely have a vacuum leak.
