My 2 cents...
In my 944 I use dot 4 ATE...
Used it at Mid-Ohio and Nelson.... no boiling, hard pedal ... other Porsche guys like ATE..

I've been using Valvoline DOT 3/4 fluid and it's worked out OK but at one track (Thompson), I'm always over heating the fluid. I used to use Wilwood 570 in my F440 car and thought I'd give it a try in the Spitfire since it has a higher boiling point than the Valvoline.
