Ok, I've scrolled through a bunch of videos looking at the DCT temp gauges. On the hot side, the hottest I could find was 245ºF. I only found 1 instance above 240ºF. And I believe that was with the stock DCT cooler. In general, most everything else is under 230ºF, especially with the do88 cooler on there.

Typically, I don't run very long sessions because if I've been going for a fast lap time/personal best/time attack lap, the car can only do 3 of those kinds of hot laps when the weather is cool and 2 hot laps when it's hot out. If I back off and run a few seconds slower, the car can run much longer. Anyway, I mention this because maybe if someone always goes out and runs 30 minutes hot, perhaps they can build up more heat than me. But even in my short sessions, I'm generating some solid heat with a supercharger, slicks, aero, diff, suspension, etc.

Hope that helps.
