Wilwood calipers are available with different size pistons.
So it does depend on what you fitted.
If the combined area of the Wilwood caliper pistons are greater than the stock Pantera calipers you will have a pedal that is softer & has more travel.
With this setup you should have better braking, but its possible to run out of pedal travel before the brakes bite.
In this instance you need to go to a larger master cylinder.
Smaller caliper piston area than stock, the pedal will have less travel & be much harder to push.
And as others have stated, lack of vacuum could also be the issue.
I used a vacuum bottle on my car, it helped a bit, but not enough.
So now I'm installing a Hella brake vacuum pump, (you can get these from Summit racing).

regards,
Tony.
