Question Power or Non Power brakes for Mild to Wild Cam

What are you guys useing for vacum on your trucks with a mild to wild Cam is anyone useing stock power brakes or just sticking to NoN Power! I had an issue with the vacum and my Truck not stopping because of the cam with my stock power brake system! Any suggestions I heard they made some type of electric pump that would make vacum, is there such a thing is anyone useing it if so how does it work? This is just a weekend Warrior but I don't Drive slow maybe race it now and then, so what do you guys recomend I do? Thanks guys........

Re: Power or Non Power brakes for Mild to Wild Cam

if your worried about not enough vac, you can always add a vac pump driven by your drive belt and also add a vac canister. or you might be able to just add the vac canister. JMHO

Jegs or summit should have a small pump to fix this problem.That would be a cheap fix.A hydroboost system will give you the best stopping power but is a more expensive fix/upgrade.
