You still have that monster 2.3L whipple SC setup? 


If so, I would make VERY sure your brakes are up to the task.  While saying "stock brakes are fine for a first time track experience" is all well and good, I can say that I lightly toasted mine with upgraded fluid and pads with a stock 3.0L.  NO WAY would I run your car on a track with stock brakes, street pads, etc.  At least upgrade the fluid and the pads.


As for your BBK that is on there now, I never heard of winnerpower brakes.  Are they any good?  I sure would not want to be the first guy to track a BBK that did not have A LOT of testing behind it.  Maybe I am being too critical, but I view http://www.winnerpower.com.tw/ as a taiwanese knockoff bbk.   Fine for bling, but I am not betting my life or my car on it on the track. Maybe I am wrong on that and I certainly am not trying to offend you with that statement. 


So, I guess my $.02 would be:


1. flush with good fluid

2. get aggressive pads

3. be diligent with your tech inspection and safety equipment

4. start slow & smooth

5. good, matched street tires

6. research those brakes

7. If in doubt, better to play it safe (parts, driving, prep, safety, etc)
