Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Brake Fluid Boiled... i have some questions for you

I was at an event Saturday and lost my brakes in my 3rd session when the instructor told me to stop babying the brakes. I went 10/10ths for about 5 laps and the pedal went to the floor after a hard sequential hard S section. I knew I boiled the brakes and pitted early. Had the techs take temps of tires and the brakes. They were claiming that the calipers were 850F degrees.

I am on the Akebonos with the Z1 2-piece rotors and Hawk DTC 60/30 pads. I'm using RBF-600 fluid.

Additional info: Running a supercharged G37 coupe @ a claimed 370 whp tune for the track.

How much do you guys think ducts could reduce the boiling or has the car's configuration just overpowered the brakes?
