Now keep in mind the current s14 wilwood kit come swith a 12.9 rotor and 4 pot caliper. and as I mentioned I right now have a 12.75 (only 0.15 smaller) two peice rotor and 4 pot caliper and it will not slow down a 600hp car quick enough. so Im not exactly confident in the standard wilwood kit. would you be?

They do NOT go hand in hand, AT ALL. The 6-piston version comes with a bigger rotor, THAT will make the brakes more fade resistant. If you put a 4-piston caliper on that same rotor it would have the same fade characteristics.
TYPICALLY 6-piston calipers may come with bigger rotors, but that doesn't mean that the 6-piston design is doing anything to increase the heat-soak capacity of the braking system. Also a 6-piston caliper may be larger in size and mass than a 4-piston caliper, which may have a small affect on fade, but that's ONLY because it's bigger NOT the design.
You just want the 6-piston brakes to be a badass, just admit it...
