I would recommend against tuning brake bias with rake.

News From circle track Land. still a little bit off from Sebring 12 hour news.
Congratulations to Kurt Busch . Winning the Daytona 500 with PFC 01 compound. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...3ecc18d8a1.jpg also congratulations to Brad Keselowski on his Atlanta win. PFC 01 compound. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...723ee386ee.jpg OG racing had an Invite to the Testing of the new Panoz GTS car. Equipped with a full PFC package. Compound undetermined yet. will release that information after first race. Blurred for security. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...9c629dd567.jpg Below photo released by Panoz. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...338c813451.jpg PFC Is the fastest, Proof is on the podium. |
-PFC Full carbon carbon brakes on for IndyCar testing. Drivers did back to back blind testing and picked the cars equipped with PFC brakes . As a result, PFC will be spec brakes of choice for the 2017 season.
In a blind test conducted at multiple tracks, PFC's discs and pads earned rave reviews, and after years of complaints regarding uneven brake temperatures, high wear rates, and excessive vibrations, braking could become a happier topic to broach with drivers next year. -Racer Mag link here Facebook Post |

Torq is the working force of the pad. all pads have heat ranges. the pfc 97 has a huge heat range as it goes from 100*-1400* it's Torq output is low near .37mu. making it good for smaller tires and rough tarmac. but over it's heat range the torq output will only change 6% through 100*-1400*. for reference, a hawk dtc70 changes 20% from 700*-1200*.
The fastest Combination of PFC pads is to run them square. We have found that with PFC's low bite and consistent Friction that we can run a higher Tq rear pad and keep the car stable. this gets a PFC equipped car faster deceleration rates than a car running a staggered pad option Is it strictly pedal feel, or was that pad really having issues on standard blank rotors, etc.? |

Any feedback from the SM crowd as to why many have stuck with the PFC-97 even with the change in tires from Toyo RA1/ 888 to something more aggresive (Hoosier)? Looking at the recommendation breakdown it would seem the PFC-11 should be the most applicaple pad to the current SM ruleset?

RAcer magazine Covers PFC's Fix for Indy car. 2017 Indycar removed Brembo and replaced all cars with PFC brake systems.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c25599c478.jpg BRAKE BALANCE The big question after the race centered on the relative lack of brake temperature-related drama, and IndyCar's competition department deserves credit for turning a major concern into a manageable situation. Thanks to a second round of brake duct modifications granted by the series on Saturday, Honda teams were able to add new extensions to the lower rear brake ducts that were quite effective. According to one engineer, the first round of cooling modifications from Thursday for the front and rear ducts, combined the Saturday update for the rears, helped reduce temperatures by approximately 75 degrees F, which "got us out of a panic and into [an] acceptable [situation]." Elsewhere in the paddock, other engineers shared the same praise for IndyCar, but left St. Pete with concerns about future road and street course races. As many drivers were lifting early entering the braking zones to save fuel in the race, a faster pace and more aggressive braking could create problems that weren't triggered on Sunday. "We had some headroom, but wouldn't ever target running and hotter; that was about the top of the comfortable window," said one engineer, and another described brake temperatures while running in traffic as "borderline." IndyCar and its manufacturers don't have much time to come up with a third round of cooling options before the series heads west to Long Beach but if the collaborative effort at St. Pete can be used as a reference, smart fixes will continue to be approved when they are needed. As one of the engineers remarked after Sunday's race, "I will say we made more improvements to the brakes in the last three days [at St. Pete] than in five previous years." |
Congrats to Jim Drago and East Street Performance. Jim equipped with PFC 97 compound. Win the race, Captured Pole, and took home the lap record.

how about a product spotlight.
Roadster Shop (very cool guys) built this monster camaro a few years back and it was the hit of Sema. showcasing a PFC brake kit. source hot rod https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...142b10fc0d.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...dc9665f740.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b2c468cd12.jpg |
How do they get the wheel spacer centered when they mount a wheel? Or does it not matter?

Do you actually carry 01 or 11 for Wilwood Dynapro? This application mess is the most frustrating thing i've spent 2 hours trying to figure out, ever. Even more frustrating than the first time i tried to please a woman.

the 7751 will fit into a dynapro. the top of the pad will overhang the top of the rotor by 1-2mm. this leaves a funny looking tapper. this isn't negative to performance but it is annoying. the dynapro is a strange caliper as it only uses the cotter pins as a pad abutment. to me that's crazy to have a pad be supported vertically by only a pin, but you could drill the pad holes vertically 1-2mm to make the 7751 sit flush with the rotor. |
DTC60s it is. Thanks for the info. :)
