Default 95 magnum carb swap do i need a new brake booster?

Im swapping the 360 magnum to a carb i have talked about this in other post. But my old boss which has a carbed truck and is a diesel mechanic told me that i may need a better brake booster or a vacume booster for it because i wont have as much vacuum with a carbed motor. I dont know if this is true but if it is what do i need to do i dont know much about the brake booster or vacume lines to it. What will i need if i even need to do it?

The stock booster will work just fine. You will have the same vacuum with a carb, that you did with fuel injection. Unless you change the cam..... and then it depends on which cam you get.

There are ways to compensate for a performance camshaft robbing the engine of vacuum. You can read more about it here - https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/educa...cuum-canister/

That's a retrofit cam, and looks like it wants the shaft-style rockers. Not sure how well that will work in a magnum block. Oil for the top end changed dramatically from the LA to the magnum block.
