We had the 3 LS's at the track (each with the trans scoop and Motul 600 DOT 4) in 105 degree weather and no one ever had a similar complaint - but I will ask to make sure....

i went to a shop with a vac system to suck the fluid completely out and pump it back in so i don't think there is air in the system, plus the brakes feel fine. if my theory is correct on the heat causing the issue, the LS cars shouldn't have it since they likely have the cooling scoop installed.
