Default Brakes or Lack of...

On my ERA 427 I have the heavy-duty Sierra Calipers with the brake shoes that came with them???? My problem is I have to push quite hard just to slow down the car. I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a weak person. I need to do something before something bad happens. There is no way I could have a panic stop. I disassembled the front brakes totally and inspected everything. Pistons move smoothly no rust or dirt anywhere.There is positively no air in the lines anywhere. Also I have braided ss flex lines throughout the car. I'm running dot 3 brake fluid (fresh). I checked the bias on the new master cylinders and everything falls in specs. The back side of the pads have "Sierra 005 0455 Soft " I'm not sure if these are ceramic or not. Now I know more pressure is required because the brakes are not power assisted, but this is crazy. I'm going to brake specialist tomorrow to get his opinion on what's going on, but i thought I would ask the Forum first. Any suggestions????????
Thanks.
