Gm847 and braking

Does anyone else have a decrease in breaking after the gm847 installation orany cam similar in size?

If so what can i do to correct this and what is involved in an ls1 brake upgrade?

Thanks for your input.

My cam is similiar to an 847. I run a vacuum canister and don't seem to have a problem.

Only at idle speeds. On the highway they work fine.

Ive always wanted a little more braking out of my LT1 and with the cam i think i need it. Do you think the Ls1 brake upgrade would be sufficient?
