You got more than enough brake as a LS1 car slow down from those ET's

A lot of LS1 guys and LT1 guys run prety fast on stock brakes.

This is a "smaller than stock" Mark Williams brake on a 3,550# 30th SS convertible. Pulled the car down from 160+ MPH trap speeds with no problems - even when the chute wasn't used

. The stockers should be more than adequate. But the light weight brakes would be a good weight saver on a "track only" setup.
