Car dying when coming to fast stop...need a vacuum canister??

My new setup has a 230/236 @ .050 cam in it. I have noticed that every time I come to a fast stop, the motor dies. Do you guys think a vacuum canister will stop this? Thanks.

I'm using that same duration and I don't have that problem. Sound like you need to adjust your IAC and TPS sensors.

You will know you have a vacuum problem when the brake pedal gets hard, like you don't have any power assist.

So does mine. I want to get a tank out of a yard and baffle it.
