So bear with me if this is a silly question. I'm building a .030 over 6.0L. Cam specs are 223/230 .634/.608 114+4 will this cam make enough vacuum for my brake booster or do I need to look at hydroboost?

You have a high enough LSA that the brakes should work pretty much fine; you can always add a small vacuum resevoir if its something your really worried about, but it shouldn't be necessary.

Hydroboost?

Hydraulic assist braking system that runs off a different power steering pump and booster. Can lockup just about any set of brakes you can find.

Didn't read the last part of his sentence.

I'll go back to my corner of the room now...
