I just finished installing my vacuum brake setup in my car. That's the master cylinder, proper brake pedal and dual booster. I bled all 4 corners and the pedal feels stiff when at idle. I took it for a ride and when I am in 3rd gear the brakes feel decent. My car idles at 16 inches of vacuum. Is that enough? Do I need a vacuum pump? Any recommendations on improving them let me know. I am no longer using the factory brass valve on the body for portioning. I am using a Summit portioning valve near my Master cylinder. Brakes are still all stock on the car with the exception of S10 wheel cylinders in the back. I want to get this sorted out first, then move on to my S10 brakes up front and Wilwoods in the rear.
