What is the bore of your CPP master cylinder? The early single-piston C4 Corvette front calipers had 54mm [2.125"] piston diameters, so rather small by comparison to most of the 63.5mm [2.50"] or 74.6mm [2.94"] cast iron units used extensively. To the best of my knowledge, most of CPP's disc/disc kits are designed around 1-1/8" bore MC's, so it that's what you have then I believe that you'll have trouble generating enough pressure to get the front brakes to work to your sastisfaction.

Check your MC bore size and maybe post up which rear calipers you're using, or at least the piston size. Also, include whatever information you have regarding the booster since there are a lot of variants that could have a large effect on your overall braking system.
