Your problem is more than likely that there is air trapped in or near the ABS control unit.
Check out my thread- I uses nearly 2 gallons of fluid before figuring this out.

With the system pressurized, crack open all the fittings going in to the ABS unit. It will make a mess and you will lose a lot of fluid, but it is still better than flipping the car over.

Good luck!

First time for me, I'll have to look into that.

Link your post, please.

It is not really an informative thread, I just linked it to show I had a similar problem. It is still not 100%, but I believe with one more bleed it will be as good as it gets.

This is what I thought too.

What were your rotors before? Do you have stock or SS brake lines?

Also, just out of interest, when did you install your Kelford cams (yes, it's relevant)?
