almost every time this comes up , infrequently except for the 427R engined cars, it relates to more of a lack of vacuum pressure than the brakes on the SPF .

The friend I had with that problem had a 427R and they said the cam etc in the Roush motor did not develop enough vacuum causing substandard brake performance and stalling at stop signs/lights . He added a vacuum booster and can and voila, brakes were fine .

I recall similar 427R engined reports on cc, folks were blaming the brakes and in fact it seemed to be centered primarily around 427R folks - and when vacuum was increased , their problems went away .

Now, like other cars, I am sure someone else had a problem that was not vacuum related - as someone else reported in this thread . . so , could be two causes to your woes , howeve i note you have a 427R engine . Bill
