Default v6 to v8 brake system newb q

Hey guys, I don't know **** about brakes, just looking for a lil advice. I have a 93 Camaro v6 body that I put an LS1/TH400 into. I got a 9 inch from Midwest Chassis with Wilwood discs.

I'm considering upgrading my brake master cylinder to an LT1 and an adjustable (aftermarket) proportioning valve from Wilwood/Summit, and keeping my stock front discs. Is this a decent plan? If not, what do you guys think I should do?

Swap to ls1 spindels and do the ctsv upgrade I think the fronts are 70% of our braking power 11 to 14 is a nice upgrade

Thanks for the responses. Should I keep the v6 proportioning valve, or should I get an aftermarket adjustable one?

I kept mine, but upgrades are usually welcome
