what are yall doing about the vacuum for the brakes? i recently picked up a cam specs are .232 .240 .600 .605 lift on a 112. do you have any problem with vacuum for the power brakes? if so what are you doing to make up for the lack of vacuum?

thanks
josh

 

My brakes work just fine!

 

good deal then, did you already get yours tuned? i wanna run you once i get mine put in. ill leave the bottle off thoughhaha

 

Raising your idle rpm with a tune can help with larger cams having low manifold vacuum for power brakes.
I have a 'weenie' 224 cam in my 05 GTO, so my brakes were ok.... LOL
Hope this helps,

Brakes are fine with a SSHT here. 228/232 .610/.608 on a 111 LSA. Not huge but its not tiny either.

 

No issues at all w/ 236/238 601/605 113

 

No problems with 615/615 on 114+4

 

Those specs really don't tell us anything about the cam. Duration @ .050?

 

Hey mine drives just like stock with my Cheater V3 lol

 

Haha ok. I really need a clutch before I can run anybody, it slips bad after it gets hot or something.

 

My brakes dont work very well at all under 10mph..
Cam specs.
253/262 .657/.652 112lsa

So when you come up with a solution I would like to know what it is

 

i was thinking maybe a vacuum pump like what is on the silverado trucks, seeing as how im a tech at a dealership, im sure it wouldnt be too teribly hard to find one laying around...

 

You wont have a problem with that cam

 

no problem at all 231/236

 

No problem at all with the camshaft in my signature: 246/250 .631/.631 114+6.

 

drives like stock with mine(specs in sig) Did not notice a difference in anything but it does idle funny now

 

245* @.050", 110 lobe separation, no issues here.

 

mine works good

 

I never noticed a difference with my setup.. 236/238

 

No problems here 232/238 113lsa
