Default brake fluid

I am planning on changing my brake fluid tomorrow. I would like to upgrade to a high temp fluid that will not boil on track. Anyone have a suggestion on what fluid to use?

I was thinking about using ATE Superblue. I have been told that it should work unless Honda used DOT 5 from the factory. Anyone know what the Honda factory brake fluid is? Has anyone used Superblue in their Si?
