embarrassed I took it to the shop

so this kind of came out of nowhere. I put in wilwood d52s, rotors, MC/booster.
Bench bled the unit with the powerbooster and prop valve attached.
installed the unit and bled the brakes with a vacuum bleeder.
brakes arent spongy but I cant panic stop. It wont lock the tires in the front period.
did some calling around and was told I was supposed to take the CPP mc off the powerbooster and bench bleed it by itself. Why it came assembled im not really sure...
Today I did that and rebled the brakes with the pump and hold method.
Bled directly at the MC again because of a hint from the parts store guy.
no change.
Ive bled at least 2 big bottles of fluid through this thing. theres no dang air anywhere in it.
Parts store guy says it has to be a bad M/C... theres not that much to bleeding brakes right. what else could it be. Im thinking it cant be, its a CPP unit and brand new. But then I thought back to the steering column thread and kind of thinking I should have thrown a new MC on for giggles.

Of course I already threw my old good one away.

anyway long story short I called the closet brake shop to me and before I knew it I had dropped the truck off to be looked at tomorrow.

dont know anything about these guys. Didnt take it to my normal person. Scotts hotrod was going to call me back tomorrow to schedule me in the shop. Not really sure wth I was thinking but sometimes I get impatient...

well hopefully these guys dont totally suck and mess it up worse. Or even better find out what I did wrong. I mean how complicated is replacing calipers and a mc? doh
