Eliminate ABS
I've heard different views on how to or if. I've basically made my 2004 ZO6 into a track car. In the shop getting a engine rebuild, all forged with larger cam, racing oil pan, pump and filter. Oil cooler. Expect to have around 650 RWHP when done.
I want to beef up the breaks some, I've got wilwoods on there but I want to be able to use racing break fluid. I've heard you can't use that with the ABS. Also, with the ABS bypassed or eliminated, the breaks will work better. My mechanic isn't sure how to bypass this.
Any suggestions or thoughts on the subject?

use motul or AP 600, the abs system in the c5 is very good and will make your braking more predictable, either of those is dot 4 and compatible with the factory system
you can run DTC-70 or xp-12 pads with no trouble
stock up on rubber caliper booties, you will vaporize them
if you need more braking still you can upgrade to the c6z brakes or even more hardcore the stoptech setup
