a427sc (aka Cheeks) is correct with the ducting and fluid recomendations.....anything that will stop that boat anchor he drives will work on anything.
Road racing an itsy bitsy 289 I use PFC Z rated stuff...fairly cheap and PF pads which are very easy on the rotors.
When I had a boat anchor like he drives I had to use AP-600 and still boiled fluid near the end of a 20 minute vintage race, even using cooling ducts to the center of the rotor.
The FIA cars don't require as much brake......and have outboard vented rears which help with the cooling.
Make sure you are braking correctly....have plenty of air ducted to the center of the rotor....if the fluid still boils (petal goes to floor)....try a small "Y" with a branch hose going to the caliper..this helped when I rowed my old boat anchor.
Cheeks mentioned Morty's FIA car with the ducting....did he mention that the ducts face to the rear?.......catches more air when backing the car out of the trailer.......that Morty, he's one smart son of a gun......
