Meat Bag,
Go ahead and turn the rotors and your problem will be solved. Nathan had the same problem and that's how he cured it. I have had the problem twice (with two different sets of new zinced rotors) I cured it by running the J pads at weekend track events. Course I also took off over .100" of rotor material with the J pads. Todd puts .035" deep gas slots in the rotors and I can totally remove the slots in three twenty minute sessions. At least the rotors are cheap.....about $120.00 each. I will not be running the J pads any more. I'm going to try the H pads at my next track event. One thing though......running the J pads on the track during twenty munite sessions, running hard as Hell, I NEVER have any brake fade! NONE!
The Q pads don't make a sound on my truck, and NO DUST.

Those look great Gadget, Wilwood makes top notch stuff.
If you want something trick that fits under 15" rims, check these out from Mark Williams.
They're made for drag racers that don't use a transbrake. You can rev the engine real hard against the torque converter, and stall at a higher RPM before the car starts to push through the brakes. One of the best kept secrets in footbrake racing.
