Power Brakes and Vacuum

[Dan Fahey]

Noticed that changing to the Stocker Cam from Pure Stocker.
Ran into two issues

Cannot hold the Converter as much on Launch.
Use to hold as much as 3200rpm.
Now barely launch above 2500rpm

The Line Lock will not hold the car during Burn Out.
Have to power brake to get the tires spinning.

Shut down after a run is no problem.

Is there a good solution to get more Vacuum Boost for the Power Brakes?

Dan, years ago I used to run one of these, the price has really gone up.

Electric vacuum booster.

I’ve built vac canisters using 4” pvc tubing as reservoirs and they worked well on the street.

a vacuum pump is needed .
You can use the one out of a G8 Pontiac / Aust Holden

Remove the booster and switch to a manual master cylinder and save all the weight .

Like SS3011 said, get rid of the booster and install the 9C1 police car brake master cylinder with the 1-1/4" bore size.

RockAuto has brand new master cylinders with the reservoir, Wagner P/N MC131285 on sale for $34.00.

Also, search for a 1993 to 1996, 9C1 police car brake pedal assembly with the pushrod. They have a different brake pedal pushrod lever point.

Does that work well with Disk Brakes?

This is similar/same as what they use in the COMP and similar vacuum pumps If you want switched pump operation .
