Due to my tire choices, brake bias is already pretty far forward. Adding "S" brakes would move it further forward putting the car on it's nose under heavy braking. This would unsettle the car and lengthen braking distances. The opposite of what I want. I see no benefit to "S" brakes on my car at this point.
If I squeezed a 450hp Raby 4.2L motor in there I would generate a lot more brake heat at the track. Then maybe "S" brakes would be needed to help manage heat. Maybe not.
