jwheel:
I spoke with the legendary Bob McKee about his exact issue a couple of weeks ago. One of the sister Echidnas was doing some testing at Lake Geneva. McKee was there doing the consulting and engineering. I know the positives of Silicon fluid and asked him their applicability to racing. He said that, "generally no.....it has a tendency to compress, particularly if all the air is not flushed from the fluid". He said that they do like to use it in restoration work, though, as it lacks the hydroscopic quality of DOT 3 and saves wheel and slave cylinders from pitting.
