And, I just bought street pads so I'll only run the Carbotechs on the track. At $300/set, plus the dust and squealing, I only want them on the track. I went with Centri Posi-Quiet for the street pads, they cheaper on Amazon than from Z1, FYI.

I'm gonna butt in here: which track are/were you running?
I agree with what's been said here. I think you'll get the best improvement from the stainless lines. I would bump up the brake fluid to 660 as well. I cannot speak to the 10/8 combo as I've never run it, but the 12/10 combo gives you unbelievable stopping power and will give you some more pad life.
I don't have cooling and I haven't had any fade issues with the brakes, but usually, I cook my tires before I get to brake fade. So I will defer to others on whether you absolutely have to install the cooling kit at this point.
