Seems to me if you don't trust the mfr's information you might as well just tack a list of pad compounds up on the wall and throw darts at it.

If you have temperature concerns with 8/10/12 Carbotech/G-loc pads rated to 1250/1475/1850 degrees F (675/800/1010 C) respectively, there is no reason to expect the Hawk DTC30/Street-Race compound at ~800°F optimal/1200°F listed max (425/650 C) to be any better (especially given how fast mu drops off on the high end, there's hardly anything left at 1250°F).
