Brake ducting
The braking system is the Achilles heel for my ‘22 SS 1LE. I’m hoping you all have ideas to cool or otherwise upgrade brake system to eliminate overheating.
To date I’ve been using RBF660, switched to Girodisc hats and rotors, PFC race pads, titanium backers and CTS-V performance ducts. Last weekend my fluid boiled at the end of two 25 minute sessions. Ambient temperatures were in the mid-high 80s at the time.
I lost pressure going into a turn. Brake pedal went half way before pressure built. I made it through the corner and then was able to stop off-line. In the paddock I could see where fluid had boiled out of the front calipers. There are AP temp stickers on the calipers. Both read just shy of 500 degrees. The brake fluid was changed within the last two months.
Any ideas on fixing the overheating problem? My planned next step is having a local race shop build a custom ducting system. Other option would be converting to AP brakes.
