Brake Check. Need for you to check something for me

Maybe it's cause I've been driving the Jeep and now the New
(still can't believe I cant spell or pronounce the Make + Mod of my new Car, WHAT WAS I THINKING ???)

But I absolutely immediatly took notice to the L brake pedal tonight (Ya I was out KILLING IT AGAIN) Did a 1/4 Pass 0-120

Like a got dam sponge I tell you
When I got in and started it, I immediatly felt the pedal was very
spongy, a matter of fact, if you REALLY REALLY push hard, you can dam near hit the floor board with it (You can squeeze a foot under it)
BUT
as soon as you put it in gear, WAM back to normal,
as stiff and hard as Gator in a school yard

Put it in Neutral and it becomes a sponge again ???
Put it in gear, back to Gator

ANYONE ELSE ?

(if your not sure, just do me a favor and check yours tommorrow)

IS THIS NORMAL ?

Got anything to do with Vac and a PORTED EATON ?

2 things........

1) that Lightning of yours couldn't see 120 in the quarter if you pushed it off a cliff

2) the Apten blower has NO PROBLEMS.......
must be something about a supporting vendor

I never said anything was wrong, I just never realized in Park + Neutral it was so spongy, and wonder if everyones is ???

Ya I hear you about the 120 Gator,
but it seemed like a good number to stop at

Check the two big black hoses the connect to the back of the SC area; one might have a split in it or something from when you did the blower swap.
