Upgraded brake pads are generally completely unnecessary for someone's first track day although they might be warranted with OP's additional 350whp compared to a stock Camaro SS. Generally upgraded pads are only helpful on a Camaro SS once someone has more track experience and is consistently doing threshold braking.

I agree on switching to DOT4 brake fluid. StopTech 600 or Motul 600 should be sufficient for a novice. 2x 500ml bottles are needed but there will only be a bit left over so an extra bottle wouldn't be a bad idea. Motive makes a pressure tank to allow for 1 person to do a brake fluid flush otherwise you need a second person to pump the brake pedal.
