soft pedal with ls1 swap?

Did the ls1 swap the other day with all new parts . The car does stop so much better but the pedal is a lot softer then before . I'm not sure if this normal or something wrong. It has more travel now also

That will happen with those components.

I calculated the pedal should be 13% softer and 16% shorter compared to stock, for the same deceleration rate.
