Update

I got a few things to discuss. I drove up to Pure Automotive today to bleed my brake system and install my new pads. I logged some data on the highway. Just cruising between 60-72 or so. Ambient temps were 95-97F. Heat wave in the mid-atlantic.

About 15 minutes in:


About 30 minutes in:


About 45/hour minutes in:


It seems like the oil temps climb pretty quick but as long as you back off the throttle and take it easy they moderate in the 220-230 range.

Replaced the front pads with Wilwood BP-30 race pads. Replaced the rear pads with Carbotech XP-10s. Installed stainless steel lines in the rear (the Wilwood kit had them for the front). Flushed the complete system and replenished with Motul RBF 600 fluid.

Driving Impressions - Wow!! These pads bite and bite hard. I'm hoping to do a little spirited driving this evening (going to try out some E85). These are a game changer for the car.

Just a couple Innovate chargers hanging out (they were tuning the other on the dyno)







Some pics of how things are holding up. After about 10 20-minute track sessions and a couple thousand miles.

Pure Automotive is having a huge meet on Saturday and their brand new DynoJet is up and running. They're going to incorporate a dyno day (and some live tuning w/ Visconti) so I plan to get my 3 pulls and see where I'm at.
