Wolf,
On 2136 I have the same Wilwood front brake setup, with the outboard PBR brakes on the rear. I also had the same initial reaction, it seems to take a lot more pedal pressure than I expected. That being said, I am getting used to the brakes as I get more miles on the car.

Be sure to bed the pads per the instructions in the manual or on the Wilwood web site. Power assist makes a big difference, but the manual setup with the brake and clutch pedals pivoting from the floor is what was used in the original cars.

Given that the master cylinders sit alongside the frame rail, don't think there would be any way to add power assist. Maybe there are options with different diameter master cylinders? Let's see what Bob thinks.
