I've currently got 2.0 sierra vented discs on the front of my fury, now with track days planned and general road use would it be worth the £350 I'll have to pay rally design for a powerlite kit?
The rears are 240mm drums and seem to work just fine .
Opinions greatly appreciated before I shell out .
To wilwood or not to wilwood?

Given that the M16 calipers (which I assume you are using) were designed to brake a car at least twice as heavy as most JPSCs, you probably won't find you stop any better with an alloy 4-pot system -- assuming equivalent pads. I certainly didn't notice much difference after I shelled out the lucre.
You will, of course, shed several kilos in unsprung weight, which has to help handling and gives a slight advantage (possibly 0.5%) in the total mass to be accelerated and braked. However, there may be more worthwhile uses of your £350.
