Locking the brakes.
If you can lock the brakes on dry pavement, then in that situation you do have more clamping force needed. You have "too much" in relation to the grip of your tires.
I didn't say what I meant to say very well, as I didn't even address the concern about repeatability. (Can you make multiple high speed brake applications in a short period of time, such as on a track or an autocross course.)
Locking the brakes simply indicates that you have gone beyond the traction available to the tires. I doubt you can decrease stopping distance by changing any brake component, until you change to a tire with more traction.
That is what I was trying to say.
Sorry I threw my $0.02 into this thread.
