I need to get my computer dialed in properly and it's in transit right now. I'm assuming I'll need a few more burns though to get it right. Once that's done I'd like to take it to a dyno and use a wideband.

With all that said, I'm thinking early September. That way the weather will be nice too.

As you have the ZR-1 wheels, go for the Brembos in red, but go for both front and rear and leave the hand brake on the existing rear caliper.

The Brembos are expensive but I have 30,000 miles on mine and still on the same set of pads including track days.

The brakes don't fade on the track and are just awesome compared to the stock ones.
