Do larger lift cams pull more vacuum, or is it the duration that pulls vacuum? The reason I ask is, I had some friends who put a cam with about that lift in a car and had to run a vacuum canister to keep their brakes.

Realizing this probably belongs in the general engine section, what exactly is overlap?

Put simply, overlap is the amount of degrees both valves (intake and exhaust) are open at the same time.
