I'm kinda shocked you lost the brakes with the DTC70s and Motul 660.
But then again I boiled Motul 660 in my little lotus Elise, switched to SRF and never had an issue again.

My camaro came with SRF and DTC70s and despite having approx 700whp and going from about 145-45 into turn 1 at my local track the brake setup seemed completely and utterly unfazed.
I had the Re71s up front singing under braking too, and the tires were greasy, but brakes, brakes were awesome.

Cooling ducts should help, even if you weren't completely fading the pads, it would still likely help with pad life. If you're fading them, yes it would help, but the biggest bang for the buck would likely be the shims, if it's the fluid thats boiling. Is the pedal going to the floor, or it's firm but the car's just not stopping in as short of a distance?
