[DeTomaso] Porterfield vs stock pads?

[pantdino at aol.com]

I just went into their dropdown menus and found the Pantera under DeTomaso in the manufacturer box.  Pantera is the only model listed.

hat is the Porterfiled part number for a 74? The web-site does not even list 
antera's.

 Hi all, I've been really busy here in San Diego, this is my first 
 chance to look at forum email and boy do I have a backlog.
 
 I'm running Porterfield R4S pads on my Pantera and they performed 
 -great- last weekend during autocross. Never faded, always stopped, 
 never locked up either end. This is with stock rebuilt calipers and 
 master.
 
 YMMV,
 Asa Jay
