    My new .hotrod has disc front and drum rear power brakes. When I first start the engine the brakes have very little stopping power. After driving a bit the stopping power improves although they have nowhere the stopping power of my SUV. Ideas?

    What compound pads are you running? They may be too aggressive and your not getting them up to the temp they work best at.

    How much vacuum are you making at idle?
