still not that much brake pressure
I'm been leaving a destruction path now that I've got the new master cylinder on and I'm not getting any brake pressure STILL, it gets to a point where its almost like its bouncing off something or going past a point. Someone show me the light in my brake problem.

I believe that you are thinking of the clutch master and slave cylinders. Projekt70chevel, is talking about his brake master cylinder.

I believe that the Brake master and clutch master cylinder are the same thing in our cars. Bleed your clutch as well as your brakes. Make sure you do it in this order
Rear Passenger, Rear Driver, Front passenger, Front driver. Then do the clutch, and see what happens.

The brake and clutch master cylinders are seperated..as they are in all cars. The brake master cylinder reservoir is shared with the clutch sytem however. Which is why clutch master cylinder leakage causes the brake fluid level light to come on.
Hopefully you installed the correct master cylinder, there are two different makes depending on the booster type. After that you need to bleed the system correctly, I always recommend using a pressure or vacuum type bleeder to make sure the fluid is completely replaced. Yes, you should always bleed the clutch system too.
