Read that very carefully as well as my other post and consider if there will actually be any gains worth endangering both yourself and those around you. Is a few mpg really worth someone else being seriously injured or even killed in a car accident.

If you decide that you want to continue and can do so in a way that will not endanger the lives and well being of others I heartily suggest you do tons of testing off public roads and in an environment that is as controlled as possible in case something goes wrong.
I note with great interest that Nico Rosberg detailed the problems he had in the Canadian Gran Prix: The electronics that make the change in brake bias undetectable failed. He could not get a good handle on the brake bias, so his braking was severely hurt. It took Hamilton out of the race.
