No..he has the 13.6 kit from fast brakes. He does not have the Arizona Z 4-pot kit. If you read the thread he states it further down.

ideal for me would be a 6 or 4 pot kit @ 13.6 w/ low dust pads
More pods isn't necessary better.
OE comes with one pod. Should the wilwood 4pod
stops 4x better? No. Once you get above 4 pod, money should
go to bigger rotor.

The difference between 1 & 2 pod vs 4 pod is HUGE, Typical 1 &2 pod design has pods (pistons) coming from one side of the caliper only, pushing only the outside of brake pad/rotor & causing the back side of caliper to passively pressing the other brake pad to the back side of the rotor.
4/6 Pod caliper has pistons on both side of the caliper,
in 2+2 or 3+3 format. Therefore, the brake force applied to both side of the
rotor are even. This does not mean more clamping force, just more even pressure, even pad/rotor wear & more consistent long term performance.
6 pods may use 3 smaller pistons on each side vs. 4 pods = 2 bigger piston on each side, the total area of the piston contact surface for 6 pod may not be significantly bigger than 4 pod. The 6 pod caliper it'self may bot be much bigger than 4 pod caliper either, therefore a lot of times, they both fit the same size rotor. Bigger sized rotor matters more that two extra pods.
The difference between 1, 2 pod OE caliper vs. 4 pod Wilwood:
1, weight savings = performance
2, One side push vs. two side push = Performance
3, look & bragging rights
The difference between 4 pod vs. 6 pod wilwood caliper:
Just bragging rights, I.E. I've got more pods that you. They weight about the same, look about the same & perform about the same (Unless 6 pod gets bigger rotor).
In summary:
4 pod 13.6" BBK set up is better than 6 pod 13" BBK in both look & performance due to bigger rotor. The funny thing is, the 4 pod 13.6" may cost less than 6 pod 13".
