Default Brakes

Paul,
I didn't mean to mislead anybody into thinking it had anything to do with the hydro boost setup. That part seems to work great. It's just that this is a brand new install for me from the vacuum assist that was on before. I probably had the very same situation before but just did not realize it. I don't even think it has much to do with the master cylinder. As far as I can tell, it seems to be functioning as it should.
I could go back and rebleed the lines again( I will have to if I break into them to move the prop valve for sure).
I don't really understand the "CC/measured pressure rise output".
Same size tires front/back.
Yes, the back calipers are the integrated E-brake type( I still have to read up the article you linked).
I'm sure the pad materials Front to Back are all over the place. Plus the surface area on the rear pads are probably 2/3 to 1/2 the size of the front pads. Not to mention the fronts are dual piston and the rears are single piston calipers.

I realize there must be quite a mismatch in braking ability between the fronts and the backs. It may be the case that they are so far apart that I can never get them close to locking up at the same time. I would hate to think that I would have to defeat the front braking ability to make them miserable just to get them to somewhat match.

Keep it coming. I'm all ears!
