Just bled my brakes using the Motive power bleeder and the pedal doesn't feel all that firm afterwards. Pretty sure I got all the air out but I'm considering doing it again because I have a track event in a few weeks and I don't want to risk it boiling over. I tested it with some pretty hard stops and the pedal doesn't drop too far, but it's spongier than I'm used to when just flushing a system. It's fine for street use but I just wonder how well it'll hold up under the heat of the track pace.

How firm is your brake pedal after a fresh bleeding of the system?
