Keep in mind, larger better stopping powered front brakes can make the front skinnie tires lock up much faster. The LS1's have great stopping power already, the larger better pads/caliper setups are great for road racing with large front tires, but not as good for drag setups.
Hope this helps,

Steve,
That was very helpful. I had not considered the lock up issues with the skinnies.
The first turn off at the end of my local track comes up quickly at 118MPH. Looks like I will continue to take the second turn off.
I think I will just upgrade to Stainless steel lines for the few times I drive the car on the street.
