Braking energy per wheel can be calculate as follows

Kinetic Energy =3D (.044 x  W x V x V) / N

W =3D Landing weight in lbs
V =3D Landing speed in knots
N =3D Number of wheels with brakes

I had a lot of trouble with the original brakes on my LNC360MKII until I rep= laced them with "Grove" brakes.  They make all the difference in the wo= rld.  I don't know what the IVP has but if it anything like the 360 rep= lacement may be a good solution.  Talk to Grove 1-619-562-1268 and see=20= what they have for the IVP.

Good luck
