change in cams and timing will change engine vacuum. easiest thing to do is add a extra vacuum canister. that won't really make more vacuum but it'll give you more vacuum for the brakes.

if you dont have enough Vac to run everything, you can get a electric vac pump... they run off a lil electric motor, and only run to create a vacuum.... once it reaches the set level, it shuts off... so its not always running..

you can route your air doors and other non engine, vac accessories to it too..
