Brake pedal is stiff while staggin the car

I do my burnout roll in to stage the car. turn top bulb on, torque car to about 1700-1800 (car wont hold much higher than that, and i'm afraid to put the stress on my rearend) and try to roll in for the 2nd bulb. pedal is real stiff and i have to put a lot of pressure on it to hold the car. it's very hard to get the car to creep forward the way i'd like it to. sometimes it will just randomly "lunge" forward and i'll actually be deepstaged.
It's kinda hard to focus on putting so much pressure on the pedal and focus on the tree at the same time.

this is a 92 camaro with a new master cylindar and front pads.
big camshaft, bout 500 lift, and i heard that can be a problem with the brake booster. i've tried the vacuum canister and it did nothing. someone told me i need to just get rid of my brake booster.

any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

i stage at idle or just above, than get up on the rpm, easy'r to hit the same spot..
