brake question

So I upgraded my setup to a full manual wilwood pedal and dual master setup. pedal is a 7-1 ratio. front master is 1 inch bore, rear is 3/4 bore. no prop valve. All lines go directly from the master to the calipers. have a BEAR kit on the rear. new lines and new stock calipers on the front. All lines are bled perfectly. so here is my problem pedal is hard and if i smash on the pedal at idle it just drives right through the brakes. car is impossible to stop. swapped the masters around and still the same. Any ideas?

Re: brake question

does the pedal assembly have a brake bias adjustment screw on it? if so, you might need to adjust that to give you more pressure to the front brakes- you can get a **** that hooks up to it that you can mount to the dash that is the exact same thing that the NASCAR Cup guys use to adjust their brake bias on the fly.

other than that, i don't know what to say.
