What, specifically, are the rims? If they're old/budget, then the brake track could just be shit and you'll have to suck it up.
Compressionless cable housing? Good routing: no tight bends or doubling-back?
Maybe try different pads: not all pads perform well with all rims.
The latest Shimano calipers do have increased mechanical advantage, but I doubt your levers pull the same amount of cable as current ones do.

yes compressionless cable housing and proper brake cable - no tight bends
when i pull the pads hit the rim fineit could be cable pull issue, i have the pads right on the edge of touching the rim though as its true, and almost immediate contact when pulling - i can then pull more on the lever but the braking power does not increase :(
perhaps its the track !

why is my front rim braking power like a frikin marshmellow in a furnace, useless.
its carbon rim, bianchi branded calliper and prince-swissstop pad (mated to 9 speed ultegra STI).
should i upgrade the calliper?? duraace FTW?
