Default Re: soft brakes - why?

I recently converted my 68 camaro from drum to disc. I used the Aerospace brakes. The pedal seems a little softer with the disc brakes than with the drums but the stopping power is amazing. All I have to do is rest my toe on the pedal and it stops great. On the first run i hit the pedal like I did when I had the drums on it. I had to put the car back in gear to drive to the end of the track. I used a similar master cylinder but did not use a porportioning valve. Follow the instructions on seating the pads. I took a couple of runs before the line lock held real good.
