Could it potentially be caused by my Stage 3 PD BTR cam?
Maybe i need to activate the ABS system when bleeding?
Potentially add an aftermarket brake booster system?
What are your recommendations..

If you have less vacuum due to an aftermarket cam, your brake pedal would be stiffer than stock. Unless you have high mileage and these cars have a 2 stage booster (like the crown victoria) I would bet you still have air in your lines, flush a whole liter of fluid through and see what happens, also try the old 2-3 pumps, hold, release to bleed and push the bubbles out. If you are using a sunction bleeder, I bet that is part of your issue, they are not easy to use perfectly, I often sucked in air through the bleeder threads.
I love ATE brake fluid. It's the only one I haven't boiled, and I used to make my rotors glow on the 240Z.
Stay safe and be cautious, any inconsistancy with braking can be scary.
