Brake dilemma, need advice

I'm sick of my brakes! No matter what I do my brakes just don't stop the truck fast enough. I just put dual piston Wilwood D52 calipers, drilled and slotted 12" rotors, and steel braided hoses on the front and no matter what speed I'm at they still won't lock up no matter how hard I push the pedal.

I have the right MC , I have the rod adjusted correctly, I have the right proportioning valve, I have a good booster, I have a vacuum reserve canister, and I have bled them too many times to count. What am I missing?


The only thing I can think is my MC isn't putting out "enough" pressure. Do I just need to spend the money and get a hydroboost setup? Normally I wouldn't worry too much about this but if some kid runs out in front of me I honestly don't think I could stop fast enough.
