Default Question About Hydroboost

I installed a hydroboost unit in my '67 GTO build, read about it here:
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=747855

I also have a complete 4 wheel disc brake kit from CPP that is installed. I have been bleeding the brakes several times and I can't get a firm pedal. I did drive the car a little today and the brakes work, but it still feels like a soft pedal. Did I miss something or is that how the pedal feels with a hydroboost unit? Should I bleed again until it firms up or is there any other trick I am not privy to? I did contact CPP and they suggested that since I received the parts several years ago that maybe the seals dried out in the MC, so I replaced the MC and still have the same issue.

Any help?

Do a search in the Suspension forum, The proper technique for bleeding Hydroboost has been disused many times.
