Power Brakes... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok so I added power brakes to the truck a while back, and I just finally tonight got the brakes all adjusted and whatnot (I think)

Well two questions first when I brake it doesn’t even come close to locking up and it doesn’t stop all that fast either. I replaced everything on the brake system except the lines and prop valve. I have thoroughly bled the system. Checked all the hardware in the brakes everything works. Do you think that because I have a 454 and the prop/master cylinder is made for a 350 C10 that could be it? Would I be better off with like a C20 prop and mc?

Also when I hit the brakes my engine seems to idle odd, do you think that my cam is too aggressive for the power brakes?
