I have a camshaft with a similar gring to the MSA 2003 cam.
It is a schneider cam, but it is an older grind....A friend bought it in the late 80s and had it sitting in his shed until 6 months ago.
I installed this cam on my 3.1L engine with SUs.
My brakes were less than satisfactory (to put it mildly). They had an on/off tendency. There was little pedal feel, and little ability to "feather" the brakes.
I pretty much had no brakes or locked brakes.
I was uncertain as to the source of the issue. I figured that maybe it was time for a vented rotor brake upgrade....Nope.
I purchased a Comp Cams vacuum canister from the local speed shop for $37. It is an aluminum canister with a silver powder coat finish.
It took about 30 miutes to install. The lions-share of this time was spent figuring out where to put it. I installed it half was between the radiator core support and the strut tower on the driver's side. This was the closest place I could fit it to the booster and vvacuum source on the manifold.
All I can say is WOW! I drove the car and realized that I didn't notice the brakes at all. Before, braking was a conscious, planned action. Now it was just natural.
I highly HIGHLY recommend a canister if you have noticed brake degridation due to a new camshaft. This is a WONDERFUL product.
Just thought I'd let others know.
