Seems like your are trying to shed unsprung weight with the brake swap, and while lap times are obviously the goal, any sacrifice in streetability?
ever watch h2h on torque tv? They have had some great new vs. old comparisons at willow springs with a pro driver. Love to see penny vs. a new camaro or hpe camaro. Have you run penny there and if so, lap time?

A lot of trial and error.. some math. Sometimes we just know a part is better, like the ZR1 hubs, and move to them since every bit helps.
Tires make the biggest difference in stopping.. followed by pads.
I don't think I sacraficed any "streetability" by ditching the weight of the parking brake since it was never hooked up to begin with. lol -- saving all that rotating weight really helps the car get going quicker.
Sign me up for the H2H TV deal, I would love to see the results.
