Just throwing it out there because it's happened to a buddy of mine.
After changing everything on the powermaster I noticed that the e-brake was on just barely.

Thanks for the replies i'll check the switch that contacts the pedal . I did have one of the braided lines leaking but when I took it apart found the lining pinched , re cut and re installed no problems now. One thing I have noticed is the braided lines get very hot to touch after some driving , not sure if this normal , maybe a tranny type cooler could be installed inline it probably would'nt hurt. It's great to have real brakes , thanks Bob

Same thing happened when I did my conversion. You need to push the white brake switch towards the front of the car to where it hits the brake pedal. It sits in a bracket, grab the back of the switch (white box) and push it towards the front of the car. HTH

Really hav'nt tried cause I use a transbrake , but just playing around it held 10 psi , would probably hold more if I stabbed it a little harder. I'll never go back to foot braking the car after launching with the transbrake
 just glad to be able to stop on the big end.
