To soak or not to soak?

I'm replacing my burned out cluch fibers after an embarrising mishap at the track... They are K series Barnetts. Do I need to soak them overnight and does anyone know if these are any better than the regular $70.00 EBC's? Thanks in advance.

tell us more about the fuel pill, I used to vary fuel pressure to tune my LT1 camaro. I always wondered if that option was available for the R1. I remember eyespy's post about the R1 needing 35% across the board on his bike. Just the thing for fuel pressure mods. What is your current pressure?
