JTRATX, I'm glad you had a good outcome, I don't think mine will end that way. Perhaps their business is soft due to Covid and are cutting costs to survive, but I am getting absolutely no response...

Good stuff Boost Creep, thank you. You'd probably get sick of Honolulu anyway, but not your car(s) : - )

I was simply comparing the same Ferodo (sorry, does that not sound like the name of a character from The Hobbit?) compound, say DS1.11, in both the stock caliper size vs the AP 9668 caliper size....

Sorry if I was unclear, yes, I have already purchased the AP Racing kit, even before I made the original post. From what I can gather on future costs, it looks like the pads are roughly comparable to...

Thanks TJay74, you ever get down to the North Texas tracks? I know crossing the Red River can be intimidating for Norman folks (other than to go to the Cotton Bowl once a year).

Just went to Kooks 1 7/8" primaries headers and full (street screamer) exhaust with a CAI intake and tune: Measured 446 HP and 453 Ft Lbs at the wheels. It is a bit loud though - 98 db at start-up.
