Why do you ask?
I'm considering the modified (more conservative) GTS DCT programming myself, mainly for the smoothness of downshifts as you've indicated. I've heard this is a nice benefit on the streets as well as at the track.

I've also read in a few threads that there were concerns the programming would cause the transmission to heat up faster at the track. If this is truly the case I might put off the programming until I'm closer to installing an aftermarket DCT oil cooler, like this one:
DO88 DCT Oil Cooler Install Thread

Though it sounds like you can still get some good lapping in without it. There is also another brand that is popular but I haven't seen a thread on it recently. Either way, good to have some well sorted solutions already available if this becomes an issue.
