prop valve maybe? did you bleed the brakes, check the cables and even check the condition of the calipers?

i would suggest gettin a bigger MC/booster to help the pedal feel, so youre sayin you already have a prop valve installed? im confused by your post

Prop valve is located in the center of the firewall not in the booster
