brakes when you have aftermarket cams?
I just put GSC s2's in my IX/MR and I have about 9, 10, 11 inches of vacuum.

How is this affecting my brakes?

I wouldn't think it would affect the pressure to the piston.

You might be correct that it may affect the brake accumulator for assisting the pedal pressure. It would be negligible I would think

I have only had the cams in for a few hours and I really didnt test the car too hard as i also put a HTA3076R turbo kit on and i am not tuned by AMS yet.

Ive noticed that with hard breaking and cams the idle drops pretty low maybe its due to the less vacuum

Having large cams wont effect braking performance due to the fact we have a vaccum booster behind the master cylinder. Before all cars had power vacuum assist it would have been an issue.
