Scott, I boiled my fluid at SAAC-27. Not a pretty picture--first had severe brake drag, then no pedal, then a fireball (fluid surged out of MC onto header).

Came to the conclusion that this was due to under-hood ambient temperature being too high. My MC is wedged under the fender well where heat would be trapped and one of my lines runs perilously close to a header.

Changed out to a superior fluid and the problem ceased.
