I don't see how boost level is relevant (for seeing how much you can hold on the foot brake) unless you have the exact same combo. Someone slap me around if I'm wrong![]()
True, that's why i said ''big cam and make power''.
When i had vacuum brakes i was running a 252ci stage 1 motor with a 4 bolt pt 70 and 224/224 cam that was in 1994.
I think the guys that are making power and holding boost with vacuum brakes are possibly using there emergency brake to hold boost....which well eventually bend your backing plates and more.
9 times out of 10 a person changes to vacuum brakes because its CHEAPER!!
