Talked to MAC today (last night for me). I should have a price on everything by Wednesday. Bill is also going to price me on the StopTech kit. Here are my specs for the brake kit;
- 14" (355mm) ST-40 4-Pot Front
- 13" (328mm) ST-22 2-Pot Rear
- Front & Rear Silver Calipers
- Slotted & Zinc Coated Rotors w/ Black Hubs
I'm ready to get this done!!! April isn't coming fast enough!!!

Robert..that is the kit i want for my 07 when JWT comes out with a compatible TT. I may have missed this and if so i apologize. What are your goals for your car as far as power?
Good luck with your thread. And continue keeping us up to date.

Otherwise, thats exactly the setup I have, and you know I am very happy with it.

And I'm doing the same set-up from you, David M, Will, & Gary's input. I wanted the 6 & 4 pot set-up but pad selection is a concerned. So give up a little bilng for more options.

For what it is worth, on a stock block, I wouldn't push the motor past 400 whp. For the small increase in power to push to 420-430, it isn't worth the stress on the motor IMHO
Very sound advice..

It is a factor of how hard you want to push the stock block. 400 whp should be no big deal on a TT setup, and if you wanted to push to 430 whp, again, no big deal. I don't think it is corret to have a HP "goal" with a setup like we are discussing here; more so, a desired HP. It is just a matter of the tuner turning the boost up another .5 lb or so to get the number you desire.

Ziv,
I have read quite a few of your threads and you seem VERY knowledgeable with what you put out there, so for the sake of my learning (sorry Robert, i dont mean to hijack your thread
) I seem to be getting confused with all of the options on motor builds to support the F/I. What is the next logical evolution once you have the kit, use it for a "x" amount of time on your stock block and want to get, say another 50-100 hp..? i know building up the internals in the block, but to what extent? At what point does it become overkill for another 100hp??
Thanks ... sorry Robert for going OT

I have the 4 pot front and rear, and IMO the 4 pot rear is over kill on the track! A 4 and 2 pot is the way to go!
