PFC Brakes
 
Performance Friction (PFC)
Performancefriction.com
They supply some NASCAR teams, Australian v8 supercars, GrandAm etc.

I'm getting a set of pads for next to nothing as a friend works there. He swears by their pads for street/track. He told me I will be the first (that he knows of) running these pads on a 370Z. Didn't know if anyone had any experience with them on other cars. I'm not sure exactly which pads he's hooking me up with but said it would be fine for street and track days.

...review to follow

Looks like they've been around. I don't personally know anything about them. 3 results yield from a quick search all involving heavy tracking. Is it the PF-01?

Not sure which pads he got me. They have been around a while and I wouldn't even know about them if a few of my friends didn't work there (there are a ton of performance car companies around charlotte nc d/t the nasacar)

01 Compound which is reported to be "giggidy"

01 is one of the most popular race compounds in the PFC's arsenal. Slightly higher
bite and torque for the first 2/3's of the stop than 83 compound. At the end of the
stop, 01 compound has less torque scatter for improved modulation with excellent
release and a flat torque curve. 01 compound is very easy on the discs with very
low wear, on par with 83 compounds.

01 Recommended Applications:
01 is recommended as an all-purpose pad in a wide variety of
applications.
NASCAR Short Track and Road Course
NASCAR Speedway and Intermediate
All Oval Track Race series
IndyCar
Professional GT
Daytona Prototype
SCCA Racing
Porsche/BMW/Corvette/Viper Club Racing

Once you have some mileage with these pads, I think it'll be helpful to post the operating temp range for the pads, so to help with proper comparison against other pads out there (In other words, to avoid comparing apple against a water melon)

PFCs are very good pads
01s do have a pretty quick ramp up and decent release.
On cars with sensitive ABS systems ....and issues with "ice mode"....I may not go with the 01 compound.
:)
They are very aggressive pad and do Use rotors up.
