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.
Patrickt Seeing that I have replaced both master cylinders I took your advise and ordered a set of Hawk brake pads from Summit Racing and should have them tomorrow. I really hope this helps with the braking issue. The car is not much fun to drive the way it is now. Thanks for the info.
