For heat management, you can create ducts (many options on here) which can allow you to go longer without going up to a BBK. I would also recommend upgrading to a two-piece rotor setup to replace the OEM rotor. Girodisc still makes a decent replacement setup that I've used, as well as Paragon.

Here is a link to the Girodisc rotor:
