You said that "the car seems to be overpowering the front brakes" but you didn't elaborate on one piece of info. Have you had anyone watch the front tires/wheels to see if they are
sliding or
rolling when trying to do a burnout?
Cheap, soft pads are the way to go. I've even heard of some racers with "connections" have their automotive brake pads & shoes relined with material normally used for forklift brakes, which are suppose to be even softer.
