This makes no sense at all. HP+ pads are higher friction. HPS never should be used on a "road course" track IMO. They might be okay for the auto-x, if the speeds are lower than say 45mph with no longer straights. You'd want a higher friction in the fronts and lower in the rears (i'll explain why below).
(street5.0 pads are also not designed for the track, basically they are similar to HPS.)

Since you have a V6 Camaro, it will not weigh as much as the SS, but it still is a heavy car, especially in front. I know that in an SS, if you use a higher friction pad in the rear than the front, your ABS will go crazy in the rears. I even had this happen using the same race pad in front and rear. So I suspect this will happen in your V6 too.

Dot 4 fluid is a must for any aggressive track driving and some tracks will not let you run without it. Stainless lines are optional but can help with pedal feel if you are serious about your track driving.
