Post Passing Inspection...brakes

Well, I didn't pass inspection today....he says I need new front tires (and I do) and that my breaks are soft.

Now, ever since I did the new motor, the breaks have been a bit of a bear when slowing from slow speeds (is this due to reduced vaccumm from the cam?). Anyway, they do a 20mph stopping test, and he said it took too long to stop. If he had the balls to really push on the break, it would have stopped just fine, but anyway....

I don't have the money to convert to larger breaks or rear discs, so how do I get them to bite better?? I'm pretty ignorant in this area.

Thanks for any help.
