Replaced Caliper and Pads...Hard Stopping...

Ok, I put the new caliper on today and bled the brakes. The Pedal feels as solid as it did before I had any brake problems. But the brakes dont seem to have much stopping power at all. Its as if the pressure is there, but its just not gripping like it should be. The pads are new to my car, theyre used pads scraped off a car in the junk yard, there pretty much brand new. I know installing new brake pads causes horrible stopping power for the first 400 miles or so. Is this the time it takes for a pad to accept the rotor? or is it simply the time it takes for a new pad to get to the right material(in other words, should the car be stopping as it would with brand new pads that need to be worn in? or because theyre used should they be working fine from the start?)
Thanks,
Aaron
