Take a look at that thread I posted from LS1.com. Here is a quote that you may be interested in:

"Truth is brake fade is almost always caused be exceeding the temp of the pads, or boiling of the brake fluid. I have spoke with racers like Lou Gigliotti about this. According to Lou, modern pads do not outgas. He said the only advantage to drilled rotors is the slight weight savings. He said he would use them for qualifying, but that since they are prone to cracking he would not use them for a race. Larry Narcus from Carbotech also told me that modern pads do not outgas."
