brake question vacuum or not

my 84 camaro has about 513 hp out of a 383. when i get on the brakes the car will pull to the left, i let off brakes a little & get back on them there fine. they are stock brake size, i was thinking about getting a vacuum canister & upgrading to the ssbc quick change kit with dual pistons. thanks any help appreciated.

Often a symptom of bad brakes lines (they collapse internally and act as a check valve). If the lines on your 84 have never been changed, they're 20+ years old.

If you're searching for brakes, you might consider the selection in the following link:
