I have a 228 cam and just noticed that I am having some brake issues. The pedal is very soft.
I also have Baer Eradispeeds in the front with stainless steel brake lines.
I either have air in the lines or my cam is affecting my brake booster somehow. I don't know how cam size effects you brakes, if it does??? I just thought i read that somewhere on tech.
I tried a search, but no worky.
TIA

Yup, you lose a bit of vacuum with cams. Some have had luck with vacuum canisters "t'd" into your brake booster vacuum line. The best results seem to be from going to hydra-boost brakes system.
