Has this been tried before ??

After the big "port out" , I've noticed that my brakes are sort of intermittent , sometimes its nice and soft (normal) after a long closed throttle deceleration and sometimes its hard like **** , like just after I boost , my vacuum at idle bounces between -7.5-8 "hg and almost 0 .
Has anyone tried usig one of these reservoirs to fix this ?............, this is taken from summits' site , of course it would be RADICAL PORT for us lol.

" Run a radical cam and keep your power brakes.
One of our vacuum reservoirs will let you run power brakes with a radical, vacuum-robbing camshaft. Take your choice of our steel, satin aluminum, or polished aluminum reservoirs. The steel reservoirs come with a Summit-designed check valve and hardware. The aluminum reservoirs include black-oxide mounting bolts with milled aluminum covers, a machined hose fitting, and a hole drilled for one of our optional vacuum gauges. Brake hose is not included.

I built one out of an old swirlpot I had sitting around all it is a tank with a two ports....be sure the check valve is made to withstand however much boost you planning on running. and be sure the tank ports are atl east as big as the port on the booster.
