The real value of the C-C brakes will come toward the end of a session on a braking-intensive track.
The value of a fresh air box is negligible compared to the difference between DOT R-compound tires and street summer performance rubber.

I will be honest though....., and probably get flamed..... I will still stay 285 or 295 on the tires. 305 is not necessary if you ask me, I rather take some more weight out and not destroy the steering feel in the street.

Took me a second, but I think I see where you're going here . . . those 11.5" rear wheels will likely dictate 295's all around.
