A 2000 degree max temp is my preference. Next time you talk to Racing Brake, you want a pad in that temperature range. My personal preference are the custom pads we have made at Cobalt friction.

Thanks for the ideas. I am a lazy SOB and don't like swapping pads and re-bedding them so am trying to find something that would work okay on the street. RB says their higher end pads are not for street use. Should I assume your awesome Cobalt pads are not for street use either?
If the OEM Chevy pads worked better than these RB ones I wonder if they would be fine...
