That combined with high temp fluid would see better results than brake duct kit + street pads. It's almost as if you're trying to avoid the inevitable, which is no street pad is going to prevent fade in a heavy car like yours on the courses you describe. Also, not sure how your tubing is routed but do you find that it pinches during full lock?
This I have to agree with, if you are serious about continuing to track, proper track pads is a must.

I played the street pad game, even the hybrids, but as you push harder and harder, you'll need real pads for the track.
