Brake System Killing Me!

[nicks67camaro]

I try to be self sufficient but this brake system is killing me. I just can't get them to feel confident. The car slows down but it should be throwing me into the windshield. The pedal with no vacuum feels pretty firm but during my test drive just not great.

System
DSE Brake Booster
1" ACDelco 18M974 screw top master
C6 Z06 6piston front 4piston rear
3/16 Copper nickel brake lines

Master was bench bleed and i used the motive power bleeder its bubble free but i feel like there could be some air left even though the calipers push solid fluid.

DSE recommends a 7:1 pedal ratio which would put the rod on the upper hole vs lower hole. I've read that the lower hole is what you use for power. When i had it on the upper hole it would feel really soft. In the lower hole the brake is in line with the gas pedal (dse dbw) its notibly lower than stock.

Do i continue to bleed this thing?
Is the top hole right? - I hate questioning DSE.
Should i bleed front brakes (rear port) first? Does it matter?

I have a caliper pressure gauge on order to check the pressure. I'm going to try the old 2 man bleeding and getting the rear higher to move any air bubbles closer to the plunger.

Any insight is appreciated




Thanks Nick
