Vince ---
I sent a copy of a spread sheet that Ron Sutton Race Technologies worked out on my Mustang - we have the exact same brake system... Baer 2 piston front with an 12" rotor - and C4 single piston 12" rotor rear...
The brake torque using the Hawk DTC70 pads front and rear is 2515 torque
Keeping the exact same brakes but running the less CoF pad - Wilwood "A" pad in front and Wilwood "B" pad rear -- gives me 3074 torque
It might seem bassakwards -- but by going to a smaller front rotor - the Baer 4 piston with an 11" rotor and running the Hawk DTC 70 pad brings the torque to 2957
So as you can see -- by just changing the pads I can get more torque out of the same system.
That is not to say some major brake upgrades are not in the works for the old gal!!! Just saying that there are simple ways for people to upgrade their performance if they use some science over just throwing parts at stuff.
My thought is - that if he was just killin' our times then he might need way larger brakes --- but Charley is running rear DRUMS and is killin' it lap after lap while he's sipping Martini's and eating Bon-Bons.
