I have the super dot 4. I dont know that I would run it on track but I use it for the clutch and my street cars. I get the feeling its about the same as ATE which blows on track

It's about 90 degrees lower than the SRF, but has anyone looked into the Amsoil brand it's got a higher boiling than SRF not by much but it is higher.

I use AP racing Radical R3 brake fluid:
Typical’ New Dry Boiling Point: 320°C (608°F)
‘Wet’ E.R. (Equilibrium Reflux) Boiling Point: 199°C (399°F)

seems to work well I have not had any issues. I have it in both my 2017 and my 2011 Z06. the 2011 is exclusively for the track

I feel like as long as you have a fresh fill of any decent fluid that is dry you shouldn't boil the fluid unless you are dragging them, or your pads are worn enough to start putting real heat in the calipers.

I get that the stock pads suck and are barely thick enough new to isolate temperature in the pad, but TI shims are the fix for that issue, not different fluid. Sure srf might last 2 more laps, but when you warp a piston or start bending a caliper then you just have other issues to deal with. I wouldn't worry about the fluid, anything good should work with ducts and shims.
