Your staff needs to do a little more research on power brake options with low engine vacuum. On page 82 0f the article, the question was asked if there are any options besides a vacuum pump if the vacuum is too low due to cam design. The answer was to use a vacuum pump or go with manual brakes. Apparently they haven't heard of a hydraboost. I am using it successfully on two of my cars after experiencing poor braking performance due to my aggressive cams. They work off of the power steering hydraulics. I think you should amend your response so those that are not aware of this equipment can consider it for a solution. It also eliminates the vacuum pump noise.
