Damn sir, I hate to hear the frustrating issues. I HATE brake issues with such a passion!! I have spent hours and hours chasing "bubbles" and so on. So please excuse any ideas that I post below that you may have already done.
1.) Bench bleed the Master Cylinder? Fully... This can be a pain, but very very important.
2.) Check that you have correct Proportioning valve (Combo Valve) Disc / Drum , Disc / Disc and so on, this caused me nothing but headaches for days...
3.) I got so mad, I just converted over to HydroBoost, but really had to. I had maybe 7lbs of vacuum.. .so it was needed. But I will say this, it is really nice system, but not cheap
4.) I bought one of those brake machines. I got the one that puts pressure to the master Cylinder with Air and then I start the process. It works really good, but it takes time to set up. I have tried a reverse system where you vacuum at the bleeder... it was not a good kit that I got, cheap one and it did not work good, but I would not be apposed to trying one the nicer kits for this.

I just hope you have success. I feel for you on this!
