Sure, this is a re-run.
I ran the track and got brake fade 3/4 of way into each session. I just want to upgrade the pads and fluid right now. What do you recommend/are using. Wear is not a factor. I want the best stopping power for the stock FOUR calipers/rotors. Do I need to replace the M/C with a bigger unit and what are your feelings on the prop valve vs "tee" arguement. Also considering the SS brake lines. Thanks and thanks to Mark for helping with the brake bleeding on track day. KT Attached image(s)

I was running a 2800 lbs tail dragger with stock SC brakes....which most 914/6 use.
FRESH ATE blue, Ate power slot rotors and Porterfield pads.....nary a hiccup for three run groups. BTW...speed bleeders are a gud thang. ATE makes fluid in blue and gold...change colors each flush and you know when you got a clean stuff. I have a splitter up front with air ducts for the brakes....keep the dam but vent it for some brake cooling. Since you like to fabricate...consider some ducting attached to the dam that would direct air to the rotors. Prolly worth another five page thread.
