If you want to do more road course driving, I would encourage upgrading to at least an SS, as there is a lot more cooling. Yes, the brakes on your LT1 got hot, but the brakes aren't the only component on the car that can overheat. I assume you haven't done a lot of track driving yet, based on your questions. As you improve at track driving you will get a lot faster. The heat in the car will get a lot worse, and you will just chase the heat problem from one area of the car to the next.
Engine, transmission, rear differential - all will probably need cooling. It really adds up and then you will have trouble getting the cost of the modifications back out of the car when you sell. Also, aftermarket add-ons probably won't be as reliable as OE quality of equipment.
I own an LT1, but I bought with the understanding that it would be best to keep as a street driver only.
