Well, the weather cooperated and I finally got around to checking out the new fan clutch to see if it made any difference. As you can see, the car said it was 98F outside, the oil temp was good and centered on 210F, the engine temp was up a bit past midway with the A/C running. I had just come to a stop at a stoplight when I grabbed the phone and took this shot. Does that engine temp seem "normal" for a hot day like today? The engine coolant temp gauge did come back down towards the center point after I was moving again. So, I'm thinking that things are better now, when compared to the old fan clutch. Before I installed the new one, the temp gauge went past the right/last white dot, closer to the red zone and it the ambient air temp wasn't as hot as it was today. Your thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

flushed my brake fluid and put on my track wheels.
I think I need to drink more water (or the fluid was due for a change 🤣)

Track day at Streets of Willow. 1:29.xx isn't flying but it was a nice day at the track. More traffic than I anticipated but I'm still learning the car. I'm not brave enough to drive it without the DSC on "track mode".

New motor is ready to go compliments of ET Tuning (https://ettuning.com/) who did a fantastic assembly and set up job. Special thanks to Peter Partee of Partee Racing (https://parteeracing.com/) who was a sounding board and insight provider. Peter also set me up with the Dailey Engineering dry sump system. Brad Noland of Noland Cylinder Head Service (https://www.facebook.com/nolandscylhead/) and I plotted the path for the head including custom valves from Supertech. Here's hoping it runs like a scalded dog.
