Here is my .2....
Anytime you take a car onto the track... You have to be 100% ok w the possibility of something happening..balling it up... And being able to walk away.
With this is mind.... If there is a known "issue" w the said car... And you take it out on the track...tisk tisk.
Here is my issue wih his now... Let's say you go into the hairpin at Barber... and you have used up the vaccum for the assist on the brakes.... You hit "ice mode" ... your pedal goes solid... Car doesn't stop... And you hit someone elses baby.

And installing faster and harder ramping up pads.... WITHOUT installing some sort of ducting...not a good idea.
For the "investment" of the oil cooler and some ducting ... It's nothin compaired to what your gonna spend of the event and or possibly a bad outcome.
At the end of the day....it's better to do.... than to not.
