Signs of a bad Booster or Master I recently bought a 94 Z and the brakes absoulety suck. I came from another 94 Z (granted the new one has a cam) and they were no where near this bad. I can stand on the brakes and i have yet to lock them up, even in the rain. Pedal feel is fine, but there just isnt any power there. What might this be?

Air in the system, did you try bleeding the brakes? When I had a bad booster it made braking very difficult because it was so hard to push down the brake pedal. Not only that but sometimes my car would stall because of the vacuum leak associated with that problem.
It might also be possible that the fluid needs to be changed, if bleeding doesnt work then try flushing it with new fluid. Then if that doesnt solve it try a new master cylinder.
