Well I finally figured why it took so long to powerbrake my car. It ended up being major boost leaks. I mean real huge leaks. When I tried to preasure test the car it wouldn't hold any boost. For starters my nipple on the T28 compressor housing fell off and it was just pouring boost right out before it even went into the pipes. After fixing that it still wouldn't hold any boost.
I also had the nitrous line taped on the rubber UIC. I know not the best way to do it but it was easy at the time. Well after time it craked from the cold nitrous and it was just blowing air right through it. After changing my upper UIC it started to hold boost. But it still leaking from one of the end taks on the supra SMIC. My fault really after I blew it up ones I never found the seal for it. So it's still has a bad boost leak but now I can at least hold boost to redline.
Now I can powerbrake with cams faster then I did with the stock cams. I launches harder too. There's still more turbo lag then with the stock cams. Full boost still dosen't come untill 3400rpm. Car feels so much stronger after getting some of those leaks fixed. It's well worth checking for them.
Here's some vids to show you how it launches now. I also added a vid to show how the cams sound at Idle from the outside. Maybe this might be the reason why some of you had problems power braking. I know it puzzled me for a while.
