kelly, keep in mind most brake systems aren;t designed for dot5 fluid... that stuff will actually eat away at the seals/lines in the brake system.

He's using DOT 5.1 not DOT 5. The main problem with DOT 5 in DOT3/4 is that they chemically react to each other and gel in the lines. It won't eat seals. but it won't absorb the water so it will pool in the lower part of the system and corrode. Not a problem on race cars that flush their lines after every race.

DOT 5.1 is a polyethylene glycol fluid and will work with DOT 3/4. It's boiling point is 518*F compared to DOT5's 500*F.

I would be more concerned with the seals melting/swelling and blowing out or the res. melting.

i melted thru my bmc with a top mount, now i wrapped the bmc and a turbo blanket and im fine. Another solution would be a wilwood pedal assymbly which moves the master cylinders inside the car.
