Cam shaft help!

Hey guys, I need the advice of a engine builder. I am currently running the comp cams XE294H cam (part number 12-254-3). The motor runs great and has TONS of power all through the rpm range. I do however have a few issues. First problem is my brakes. I can only pull about 6hg of vacuum at idle. I have tried a vacuum canister but after about 2-3 brake cycles I am out of vacuum. I have visited with a vendor about switching to a wilwood master cylinder to fix that issue but I am planning on going to a Fitech 600hp power adder EFI kit. Which brings me to another problem the Fitech EFI kit will not work with my current cam shaft due to the choppy idle.

So I am looking for a cam shaft that will keep me at my current HP/torque levels, work with a EFI kit, and possibly pull enough vacuum to run a brake booster. From the research I have done I have not been able to find a cam that will meet all of my needs. So does anyone know of a cam that might work.
