Race car guy (and wannabees) will definitely want more air on their brakes though.
Your brakes are hot if you use them or not. The pads are always rubbing on the rotors. That's why landspeed guys (and at some nascar track) push the pistons back before runs (just remember to pump the brakes before slamming them down). You might consider running higher temperature range brake pads.
