That next session switch fluid and BAM brakes good as new! I am all stock rubber but I was using every bit of traction as ABS kicked in several times from locked brakes!

Hey bullitt,
Actually, the section I made bold in your quote could be the exact indication that you're not getting as much braking action as Chris. If he has stickier tires than stock, then at the point your tires would be locking (and your ABS kicked in), Chris' would still be generating traction, and would therefore push the brakes harder.
Sometimes to understand a concept I exaggerate the differences. imagine your tires were driving on ice. As soon as you hit the brakes, they'd start sliding, and your ABS would kick in. That does not mean you are really pushing your brakes, does it? Actually, your brakes would be hardly doing anything at all. So ABS action does not tell you how far you're pushing the brakes. I hope that makes sense.
