Don't know if you have a real problems or not? Your brake booster should hook to your intake and the pcv line to your carb. This way the fumes that are created in your "motor" are mixed with the incoming air and reburned.You might also have a line from a charcoal canister that tee's into your pcv line.

If it were me I would try to make sure the booster had it's own source of vacuum.

I've also gotten the same advice, the brake booster needs a dedicated source of vacumn. It makes sense, you'd hate to find out your brakes weren't up to snuff at the worst possibel time.

Brake booster should have a fitting in the intake. Check any old intake it will have the fitting you need.

Just got done doing the same with mine had a tee placed on the back of my demon. The truck does seem to run fine how it is setup. I have another vacum port on my intake manifold and will change to that to have a dedicated line for the brakes when it gets warm. Do you have any problems with your demon running rich when the engine is cold?
