Default master cylinder/brake question???

Ok so on my build, i have stock styled front rotors, with 4 piston rear disk brakes and a stock replacement master cylender on a manual brake kit...

After bleeding the brake system i am not getting ANY brake feeling, do i need to upgrade the master cylinder with such a combination??? thanks for the help

should have done a 5 lug swap and new edge front brakes.

yes, you need a new master, and you also need a new proportioning valve

I would just look into swapping over to the hydroboost system that goes with the motor and upgrade to SN fronts.

nope, not doing the hydro boost system, ive seen how complicated it can be especially with the "no room issue"
already had most of the 4 lug stuff including wheels so why switch over to 5 just to re buy everything?

Adder, is there a website to figure out what master cylinder i need? or any info you could give me?
thanks guys

skrc sells a manual mc with the correct proportioning might look there
