Scott,
I thing you are on the right track. Racer X brings in a
good point about the stainless deflector. Make sure
you put some header wrap on the bottom of that
deflector as well as wrap the headers. I gaurantee
you will notice the difference and the problem should
cease. The
synthetic brake fluid should be OK. I
have no experience with it and I don't know anyone
that does.
The next best thing you can do is duct the brakes.
this really helps alot. Most every Hi performance
racer out there has a brake ducting system.
I hope this helps you out
Your Friend,
BT SNAKE
