MP master cylinders were roughly 70/30 front to rear. Your putting the majority of fluid to the aftermarket front disc (better) brakes, which end up being the only thing stopping the car (ie reason for heat).
Been thru this one a few times 
Good Luck
I think it's more like 60/40.

Thanks for all the suggestions on this I am really getting frustrated with the car to be honest! I guess I should start at the begining and say I got the front end on including the brakes in question , I think there were about 2 or 3 turns on the valve at this point and took it to my local track 75/80 and made (4) 1/4 mile passes it did the same stuff I mentioned before.I took it home turned the rotors and put new pads in and turned the proportioning valve all the way back....this is where I am now.
car has stainless front lines on it.I keep the car at my dads place so the next time I get over there i will try some of your suggestions...Thanks all!!

What you guys are reading in that 70/30 split is NOT the valving... its the volume of the reservoirs... if the car noses over then yes the rear gets lite BUT MOST of use have strong springs in the front and SKINNY tires... all the cars I have built with skinny front tires get the prop valve installed in the front lines to keep from locking up the fronts on a spike

Hi All,

i realize this is of no help but that is a race brake setup and imho should not be used on any street driven car.
my car is 3400 with driver (I am 250)and they work fine for me! I posted this question a while back on the bullet and Larry Larson even replied and Jeff Lutz ran the strange brakes up front also (yes the thinner strange ones)If them 2 guys don't have issues with their 200mph street cars and "race only brakes"... something else is wrong with your setup
go to 2:00 in the video. brakes look familiar. lutz is 3600lbs in that car also.

Ok thanks for all the replys....Spring is approching and I want to get my car going again! I am contumplating buying different style aftermarket brakes or going back to stock style.....in that case I will be looking for some of the stock hardware if you are reading this and have some of it message me!
I forgot to mention I still am running a (new) stock 73 duster proportioning valve as well in addition to everthing else above.
Thanks for your time all!
