Good write up Matt.

Also I remember reading about problems back when GM Started using Silicone . Something about it causing the rubber components swelling up to some degree and causing problems.

From my brief experince with road racing, If you are having a problem boiling DOT 3 then you can find problems elsewhere in your brake system, ie, Old Caliper piston seals that without elasticity cause the pads to drag and generate more heat, inefficient calipers such as floater type or a weak design that flexes with increased temp, not enough air flow. Pads installed without enough clearance on backing plates to move freely, etc, etc
