Default Wilwood brake master to stiff?

ok so I INstalled a chase bays brake booster delete which is a wilwood master now that is only powering my front brakes. The rears are on a staging brake. I bled the front calipers out and then tested the pedal and it's rock solid. I mean there is maybe an inch of play if that before it's like pushing against a wall. I have not driven the car cause of a problem with my coil on plug setup. But does this seem normal? Or is it to stiff?

never seen the chase bays one.. but i used the kens kustom chassis one and it was stiff as all hell. had to do a lot of adjusting to get it to the right spot.

I took it to the dyno and had to disconnect the brakes entirely because it was locking up on the dyno.. hahaha

after i got the adjustment right it wasnt too bad. but its defintely not like it is with the booster.

Did you have almost no pedal? Mines like a rock almost at the top if there is an inch of play...how do you adjust it to loosen it up? At the pedal?
