Thanks to brkntrxn for the link on my initial thread. I will be entering The Drivers Edge HPDE on Oct. 3-4 at TWS, running CCW. I have a few questions about my race prep as this is my first event.
My questions have to do with brake pad and fluid choice, and tire pressure. As of now, I'm going with Carbotech XP10s for the front and XP8s on the back, utilizing stock Brembo blanks. The brake fluid I plan on using is Wilwood 570 fluid, but I have yet to order this and am curious if another cheaper and/or better alternative fluid is available that still provides the necessary performance and boiling resistance. Finally, tire pressures. I plan on running 38psi on all four Nitto NT555 ZRs (275/285). Does anyone see anything overwhelming wrong with these decisions, specifically the tire pressure?
My 2004 Cobra has the following modifications:
MM FLSFC
MM aluminum steering rack bushings
MM K-member brace
Midcontinent Mustangs front brake cooling
