It would be pretty difficult (impossible) for me to generate that amount of heat a track generates. Wilwood mentioned that the calipers they were recommending had 8 steps of pads in relationship to the amount of heat and driving style. On a scale of 1 to 8, I would probably start off at about a 3 for the way I drive on the street and go up or down from there.
Well thought out plan. As you know, most race application pads will be pretty useless in road situations as you will never buildup enough heat tomato them work. Good luck.
