Power Brake Upgrade...

I just finished installing a new 7" power brake booster and new Master Cylinder in my '70 C20.
I know that a 7" booster is not that big, but it fit in there easily, so that's what I went with.
Swap went very well and the only hard part was plumbing into my old lines
All done, and I don't really have more braking "power", per se, but it is easier to push on the pedal.
I was thinking it would grip the pavement off the road, but it's not really much better than my old manual master cylinder, just easier to push the pedal.

Am I expecting too much from my 7" booster?

Pretty sure I got the lines well bled.
And I stayed Drum/Drum.
Just used new longer lines to jump from new MC into the same block that was there before.
Should I have skipped the block?
Is there a way to adjust the feel?

I'm pretty happy, but if anyone knows a link here or elsewhere, I would appreciate any input.
Cheers!
