I have the Sierra big brakes as well and I changed out the original Sierra "soft" pads, which were too hard for regular street driving, for Hawk Performance Pads #HB101F.800, which work spectacularly well on the street.

What I would suggest is that you change out the pads for the Hawk pads and perform a nice bleed (remembering there are four bleeder screws). Then, if you still have poor stopping, just change out the Tilton master cylinder for the front brakes. That's a really easy job to do and it'll cost less than a hundred bucks.
