because the v8 weighs down the front end pretty significantly over the v6, so the front wheel brakes should really be 13" in any high performance application. I manage to find the limit of stock brakes on v8 cars super fast... I've expounded on those experiences before. So you should be pretty familiar with my position on balanced and properly sized braking systems.

The stock brakes are fine for 6ers but slap that v8 in front and you lose all the benefits of the lighter brakes by not having enough heat soak capacity.
