We don't even use slotted rotors on our race car we just run 3in air ducts straight to the back of the rotors and that's stops most fade. The only time i've experienced break fade was at the end of a hard 45 minute session on a 110 degree day. Also don't forget about good high temp brake fluid, we use ate. They make an amber and blue, the reason being is so when you go to flush your brakes you know when you have fresh fluid in the calipers by the color of the fluid.

hope this helps
