Gday

Just wondering if anyone else with a big cam has had the problem with little vacuum and the brake booster not working great.

Cold morning starts you have to jump on the brakes for them to work and they only seem to work well when the car has some revs and warmed up.

Anyone know of a fix for this?

Cheers

Iv been looking and you can get a vacuum canister to help boost it. I might have to look into that.
