HP+ pads aren't exactly a track friendly pad. They are in the same category as Ferodo DS2500's IMO (street/track). For 20 minute sessions you need to run a Ferodo DS3000 or a PFC-01 or something with else with a high heat tolerance that is meant for track duty only.

Appreciate the recommendation, I'll look into these... do you know anything about the compound difference that causes the difference or are you going on personal experience?

Travis, hit me up on Monday.. we have an entire brake division who is fully versed with track pads, compounds.. you're at the level where you're far exceeding the needs of the typical guy, I'd like to extend some of the resources we have available. I'd be interested to set you up with our Brake Manager to hammer out some of your needs, as at this point you're probably the main person I've seen take the 370Z to the limits of the factory brakes.. if you're going to continue to track the car in the current form with the factory brakes, it would be interesting to see what compounds are available, how easy it is to swap pads, etc. to give you some additional confidence in the brakes..

I personally think you're ready for an AP Racing system.. but we can talk about that..

Personal experience. There is some info on the performance friction website IIRC. Might be some more info on other manufacturers websites about different compounds.
