OK! If you want more details on the current setup I can supply them. Answers to your questions:

- I can lcok all four wheels. I have not attempted to lock the brakes up past 60 mph because it frightens the hell out of me. I have Wilwood proportioning valves plumbed into each line. Tuned so fronts lock first. The best tune actually is to have both completely open - full pressure.

-Ducting - I bought some ducts and hose from stock car products.com. The ducts tuck very nicely behind the stock brake vent openings. See attached pic for more info. The hose is not very close to the rotor. Sway bar and steering tie rods prevent getting any closer.

-Peddle is still firm when fade comes on.

-Tire temps. With the stock car slicks, tire temps range from 150 - 170.

-I have not checked for pad taper. How does one check this?

By the way, regarding the Z06 comment - A man needs to have lofty aspirations

Pads, Pads, pads..... After futher study of the Wilwood pad information coupled with everyones comments, I think I need to try a different pad.
