What is the correlation between brake temperatures and the pads I choose?

EBC Brakes New Zealand
Temperature between the pad and the disc do not normally exceed 400-450c even in heavy street use. In race use 400-600c is common on smaller cars and in Championship Cup races temps, shoot up to around 800-900c where discs will glow red or orange.
