You Said "Just feels like I have air in it to me. I pressure bleed them, starting at back pass, back driver, front pass, front driver, and got all the bubbles out, then several shots of good clear fluid at each wheel, before moving on. The Wilwood wheel cylinders have 4 bleeders. I use the top, outside for each wheel..."

OK I believe that could be your problem.... in a fixed/opposing piston caliper configuration with 4 bleeders you usually need to bleed BOTH uppers in each caliper half. (Not just one)
