Default no rear brakes?!

So I figured it was time to get my LS1 brake swap done so I started with the rears. All new rotors, Hawk pads, flushed the brake fluid with ATE SuperBlue. Pedal is firm, with the rear jacked off the ground and it in drive I cant even bring the wheels to a complete stop! They slow down applying pressure but dont come to a complete stop. The brakes are bleed not sure what to check next? Could it me a vacuum issue? I do have an LE2 cam which is a rather large cam. Where I do begin?

Did you bleed all the brakes or just the back ones? Also did you bleed the ABS module? Could be some air in it. Have you check for leaks and made sure all bolts are tight.?

Haven't bleed the front brakes yet, still working on getting the old stuff off. Could that have an effect on it?

Really isnt all that uncomin, if your wheels come to a slow turn your fine, because up in the air you have no road resistance, after i wash my car on my slick garage floor if i hold the pedal down with decent pressure my back tires will still spin.

have it remember that in gear its putting power to the rear end, it wants to move and with nothing holding the tires it most likely will.

I had the same issue on mine.

rebleed the system again. I had to bleed mine 3 times before it worked fine again.
