The Hawk DR97 compound is one choice , Wilwood Poly matrix E compound is also a good choice .
Above 160 mph both will stop a 2400# car well ,but pad life is fairly short .
When I started running near 170 with my Vette which weighs 2400 # I went to the Strange gold metallic pads . Stopping much better at short tracks and pad life is double.
I should say , I dont use my engine as a Jake Brake , I shut off and neutral at all but a handful of short tracks.
