Could you give us some more info on the rest of your setup? Also, do you have the full cam specs? Lift alone doesn't have a huge effect on vaccum.

Like Tru2 said, more details are needed. I'm running a 0.563" intake/exh cam and my brakes are fine.

Vaccum going "nutso" sounds like a vaccum leak to me. Check for intake leaks.
