Brake fluid
Can you tell me what type of brake fluid you would use. My car is used for street driving 90% of the time, with a couple of track days. I read a lot of good things about ATE Super Blue. Need input

Just purchased 2 liters and new speed bleeders will be changing out this comming week as I have a long track event next week. My tuner recommended it, he is a LSX racer and loves it. I trust his advise, and with a boiling point of 562 degrees, I believe it worth a try.
I've had boil problems simply with high speed back road running in the past, with the addition of new heads and cam @ 500 hp at the crank this looks more like a necessity than an option.

I am no expert but if you are going to track your car you should at least have DOT 4 fluid in the car. I believe stock is DOT 3 which I have seen people boil at the track. Boiling brake fluid = no brakes. I think a good synthetic DOT 4 fluid should serve you well.
