EBC Yellowstuff pads?

EBC Yellowstuff pads? I am having a problem with my drag car. I need to lanch at a higher RPM than the rear brakes will hold.
In the winter its fine, but in the summer the car pushes the front tires thru the beams.
I need a pad that will hold the rear tires from rolling. It needs to work good cold or hot.
I have abs delete with a proportioning valve all the way loose.
I can't go with bigger brakes because I had to grind the caliper to make the 15" wheels fit. It had the same problem before I grinded the calipers so that is not a problem.
I use a line lock for burnouts.
I don't care about dust as long as it will hold the car at the RPM I want to launch at.

I honestly don't think different pads will solve your problem.
So let me get this right...you're overpowering both the front and rear brakes on the line while stalling up the converter???
I see your point, as different types of pads have different friction coefficients and characteristics. However, I don't think the difference will be drastic enough to hold the car if you're already overpowering the brakes.

I really just need it to hold slightly more than it does now. Right now it has Orielys lifetime pads. I only need about 100-200 RPM. Also it does hold at other times. Here is what happens: When the track is not really hot the front tires do not slide. In the heat of the day in summer the front tires will slide. We start the race in daylight and end in the dark. This is only a problem for the first round or so and time trails.

No I'm overpowering the rear brakes. It is sliding the front tires. It would slide the 275-40-17s and it slides the skinnys.

I'd go with either Hawk or EBC pads, check out their websites for the specifics on their pads. You'll want to go with a pad that has the highest friction coefficient when cold.

Well I guess I won't be needing this afterall
I am having issues with launching over 3k and I need to stage at 3300, but the car is only consistant when I launch at 3k. I guess I might try smaller tires to reduce rollout and should take care of my RT problem. I might even be able to launch under 3k then.
