Folks
As long as Jim chimed in, allow some wisdom from behind the parts counter. 
And I would say "AS IT RELATES TO CORVAIRS"

In Addition to Jim's remarks---

Add the following advice:

For Autocrossing or track racing, Silicone is the way to go. It stands up to high temps much better than DOT 4

If you live in the Mountains, or drive in them frequently, I would recommend Silicone. Especially if you are still on a 4 drum system.
