Brakes. Stopping this thing

I have a Contemporary with Wilwood, non-power assisted brakes up front.
Let me just say that I’m not used to using non-power assisted brakes
So when I go to stop I really have to lean into the peddle and even then it’s not even coming close to locking them up.

I do down shift a lot to stop, but brakes would be nice.
I plan on bleeding the system and will look at the pad.

This car was raced so could it have some sort of racing pad that feels different then street pads?

Or are non-assisted breaks just harder to use?

Thanks

Dave
