Too much vacuum, brakes are sensitive.
Gents,
I recently rebuilt my engine with a cam that produces more vacuum than stock. The brakes lock up more than normal, is there a way I can reduce the amount of vaccum that goes to the booster in order to avoid the extra force on the brakes?

Re: Too much vacuum, brakes are sensitive.
What is the vacuum reading? Also, is it all four wheels that lock up or just the rear?

Re: Too much vacuum, brakes are sensitive.
well, based on the venturi effect you could use a larger hose for the vacuum, this would slow down the amount of vacuum... in theory larger hose=less pressure/volume
