[QUOTE="Coz, post: 16110643, member: 184704"] With a supercharged engine you may experience heat soak. Do you have any cooling mods (aftermarket radiator, GT500 fan, etc.) With 670hp you will be hitting some real high mph at the end of the staights. Therefore you should definitely install brake ducts. Vorshlag has a great set of inlet ducts that hide behind the lower grill with minor mods. However, your heat exchanger piping may interfere with the routing of the duct hose. If you can't install brake ducts because of the blower I recommend you NOT track it. Better pads such as CarboTech, G-Loc, or Raybestos ST-43 is a good idea but they can be expensive. A surprisingly good pad that is a great bargain is the PowerStop Track Day Pad PST-1001 for your fronts. You could probably get away with the ceramic pads on the back but I would recommend you do the GT500 rear brake upgrade to the 13.8" rotors. There is a guy on eBay, I believe his name is ncmustang that sells relocation brackets for the caliper for about $100. This is much cheaper and faster than buying the factory GT500 axle brackets that will require you to pull the axles. Caliper & pads are the same. You'll just need new rotors. Do not use drilled rotors. Use plain ones or slotted. Stock rotors or Centric Premium rotors are good for plain, and StopTech (also made by Centric) are good for slotted. RockAuto has the best prices for the rotors and the PowerStop pads. Definitely go with DOT4. Motul RBF600 or Wilwood 600EXP. The ultimate is Castrol SRF but is twice the price. Stainless lines are recommended but not mandatory. But as I said, with 670hp if your track has any long straights, you will be hitting high speeds. With a heavy car like ours, that will generate a lot of heat. Without ducts, that will kill your pad & rotor life and can boil even DOT4 fluid. [/QUOTE]
