Big cam = no breaks at idle?

I put together a 383 stroker for my 84 Blazer. Against the advice of many members I went with a cam with a power range of 3500-6500, 3000 rpm stall converter and a 350 trans.
The problem is when i pull up to lights and the rpms drop I suddenly have very little breaks. They work fine at higher rpms.
Short of putting it in N and keeping the R's up; is there a solution to this low vaccum issue? A vaccum resevoir perhaps?
Thanks
:o
 
So you are saying nothing breaks because you have no power at low rpm?:D

Try vacumm canister first
Then electric vacumm pump
then Hydroboost.
 
reserve can....I had the same problem, your cam is too big and can't create enough vaccum.:D
