Question Need more brake help for Wilwoods

Ok, I'll try to not get too wordy while still describing the situation:

Problem: Unsatisfactory braking performance in Unique with Wilwoods.

1. I bled all four calipers, no air detectable, fluid is clean.

2. When bleeding front calipers, pedal goes full stroke from return nearly to floor, lots of fluid flushed through. Rear rod disconnected.

3. When bleeding rear, pedal has very short stroke (no more than an inch or two) but good fluid flow. Front rod disconnected.

Tried several adjustments on balance bar with similar brake performance. I don't think thats a problem.

Adjusted length of push rod on either master cylinder with no effect (except now the brake pedal is sitting at an angle). I am going to undo that tomorrow.

Running out of options. I was wondering if pedal on front going to floor with little effort is indicative of some problem with the master cylinder and/or calipers. If there was a mechanic in my area I felt comfortable taking my car to I would do it in a minute. Braking performance after above attempts is still basically the same.
