It sounds like your vaccum is too low at idle.
Maybe your cam is too big for power brakes, or maybe there's a vaccum leak, or the brake booster is bad.
It isn't normal though.

Or maybe the check valve on the vaccuum cannister itself..

In his sig it says "performance high lift cam", the would definitly cause low vacuum and brake problems!

ya i do have a performace high lift cam (i dont no the spec i did not install it Unfortunately..trying to find out though) that would explain y brakes work a $hit load better when car is moveing. ok so how would i go about getting more vacuum?? i need to fix this problem or i can bet i will hit something sooner or later.
what doi do/get/adjust???
oh and i checked i have no leaks.
