Hi Jim,
I've run both the Ferodo DS3000 and 4003 pads
http://www.ferodo.co.uk/ferodo_home/motorsports.html which are both
available for the BJ8 caliper.
They are excellent at high temperatures (i.e. on the track) - neither are
very good on the road when cold, and both leave an incredible amount of dust
on the wheels
Look at the top pic here

Be aware that the literature on the DS3000 states specifically that they are
not for road use.
I haven't tried the DS2000 pads. I just use normal road pads on the road
these days.
Denis Welch sells all 3 of these Ferodo pads

Correct bedding in is absolutely imperative with these types of pads.
Best
