I am doing a bunch of calculations trying to determine what is the maximum safe discharge temperature from a supercharger. The supercharger being the Sprintex S5-210.

At maximum boost the supercharger has a 131ºF(55ºC) temperature delta. That means on a 100ºF day, assuming direct outside fresh air, the total discharge temperature is 231ºF. 250ºF is more likely when considering heat soak from inside the engine compartment.
I have found a few resources that state anywhere from 270ºF to 300ºF are the maximum temperatures. However, I assume that is dependent on other factors such as engine compression ratio.
Anyone else have some good knowledge on this?
