I just finished installing new front and rear wilwood disc brakes,what should I upgrade now or add now? I still have the factory master cyl
You might be looking at a master cyl also, the disc caliper has a bigger piston over the small wheel cyl

Should I get the wilwood mopar style?
If your talking the alum master, I would say yes, but you might want to talk with Wilwood to what diameter bore you need based on the set up you have and your pedal ratio

i just got done installing the same setup got rid of all factory stuff.got the m/c from doctor diff & installed a sbcc adjustable porportioning valve.i also have a ? about a first long stroke when you hit the brakes, after the first stroke brakes feel fine,is this normal.
No thats not normal, you need a larger bore master to move more fluid..... if your system IS fully bled

bought a 1 1/32 m/c from doctor diff bleed brakes early today between sholving snow, went back to garage and found some leaks so i am going to bleed again tomorrow after more sholving.do you think the 1 1/32 is big enough.
I dont know your system but most likely it will be. Make sure you dont have any leaks and bleed it good

its the wilwood 4 wheel dics set up .
That doesnt mean much to me, is it a dual piston or single per caliper whats the area per piston, you can see that its not all that easy to say yes or no. Bleed it and see, a large bore master will give you a short pedal travel but give you a real hard pedal. A smaller bore will give you more travel and a easier pedal effort

I have a similar "feel" with the first hit on mine. I noticed the last time I has the wheels of the there was quit a gap between the pads and rotors when they aren't applied. I've bleed the living daylights out of them so I know it's not air in the lines. It has to be the first pump takeing up the "gap". At least that's what I think is going on with mine.
Bill that when the big bore comes into play, the pistons will/should roll back all the way everytime, and with the big bore you move more fluid with a single stroke. Whats the bore on your master
