Default Vacuum Reservoir

I had a Hotcam installed last summer & brakes aren't what they useta be because of the pressure difference with the new cam.

I've been told to have a vacuum Reservoir installed to fix the problem. I'm looking at buying this one Here

-Can anyone comment on improvements?
-Is there a good mounting place to hide it? Right now my engine still looks bone stock and I kinda wanted to keep it that way.

Hi,

I installed a SR and a bigger cam on my L98 and there is a problem with the vacuum, too. Brake is bad and the cruise-control doesn't work.
I'll install an additional (self-made) reservoir and an electrical vaccum pump, which I got from ebay.

Pics will be on my HP when it's done ... march oder april.
