Brake ducts are definetly ideal with a track pad. Track pads will generate a lot more heat which a lot of people don't realize. Yes they handle heat well, but that greater braking coefficient also produces more of it. Hence the need for ducts and high temp brake fluid.
tried that, doesn't help a whole lot with stock calipers and rotors. the brakes will still get hot enough that you start getting conically distortion on these stock style 1 piece rotor.
