Default Power to Manual brake setups

Got a new booster (9 inch single) and the car barely stops. Thinking about switching to manual brakes. What setups has everybody tried? Also thinking about going rear disc too, if it's not too much $. car is 79 firebird.

I have a WS6 79 T/A with power discs and have never been able to lock them up in a panic stop. I always though it was a problem with the mc, and changed everthing but the booster. I dosen't leak so I thought it was ok. I wouldn't change the rear brakes unless you wan tto show off or race it.
