Track brake pads on street tire recomendations?

No i won't be at NASA. Gonna be busy next couple months. I have to look at the calender to see when i'm available. I rode in a stillen supercharged 370z this past weekend at sebring and to say it was a huge disappointment only because right hand turns fuel starvation. Umm.. is your Z an auto or manual? i just have question about SRM at high rev's shutting off.

Mine is an auto and has the CJM fuel system because that fueling problem pissed me off.

Lol I can see why. Are you able to run to empty? How does the auto hold up? Any valve body upgrades?

Before the fuel system I had to fill up after every run to keep the starvation away. I haven't ran Sebring with the fuel system yet but I've ran Homestead twice below a 1/4 tank with no problems. We bumped up the line pressures and that's it for the trans. I've been waiting for it to brake so I can get a Level 10 trans but so far it rock solid, it's impressive how much of a beating it can take. I bought the car as a DD and when I started tracking it I thought I might have made a mistake but after adjusting it I wouldn't want anything else.

That's awesome. Hopefully next time we can meet at the track, I want to go for a test ride.

NASA will not let you take passenger until you are In Group 3 but I have a check ride scheduled for this event so I should be able any time after that.

I was just out bedding the carbotech 10/8s for Sebring this weekend and they have amazing bight compared to the yellow stuff pads. I think they are going to be fun!

I can't wait to use my carbotechs. Just used my EBC yellows at Watkins Glen on Tuesday and they felt pretty good, but I'm sure I would have felt more confident with the carbotechs instead.

I always liked the yellow stuff pads but they aren't close to the carbotechs.

I just did my Z1 2-piece rotors front and rear with carbotech XP8's all around. It was somewhat of a challenge to get them to bed in as there bedding process stated. I was never able to get them to fade a little with multiple hard stops. How were yours to bed in?

JWillis72

They didn't fade at all but I did get them to bed. I just walked in the door from a weekend at Sebring and the are great! I still need to work on my braking zones because they are way shorter than the yellow stuff pads.

LOL, Now I feel better. I thought I might have been getting soft and wimpy. They wouldn't fade for nothing, mind you I was on the street keeping my speeds in check.
