Power Brake Question.

How big of a cam can you run that will still generate enough vaccum to run power brakes. is there a way to run power brakes with a large cam? Any Ideas?

Re: Power Brake Question.

You could use a vacuum reservoir. Or you could do what I'm going to do, use a hydraboost system. This system uses the power steering pump to offer brake assist. I understand that you can get them off of medium duty trucks and even 1 ton trucks. Though I'm not sure of this as I'm still in the research phase. If you put hydraboost into the forum search function, you'll find lots of info. Also, I'm sure some more knowledgeable members here will chime with some more detailed info. Later.
