The brakes in my Corvette actually make me want to fall forward when stepping hard on the brake petal, you can feel them binding. I have to apply a GREAT DEAL more foot pressure when stepping on the Pantera brake petal to get similar results. If I stepped that hard on my corvette brake petal, I would lock up the brakes. When I manually switch off the vacuum pump, the results are typical of what you get when power brakes aren't functioning, so the booster is working, but maybe not well enough. I use a vacuum pump because of the Webers. Plumbing each runner creates some carb adjustment problems. However, there are times when I switch to a Holly carb and use engine vacuum, but the brakes are no better, and never were. When I bought the car forty-two years ago it had even more horsepower than it has now and I still remember my first panic stop.
