I never had a Coolant temp issue so I wasn't in the habit of checking the gauge and saw that it was completely on the end of the gauge (270F+ or 132C+). Once it cooled down I was able to add 1/2 gallon of distilled water.
Specs:
CFS Radiator & Nissan Coolant(thought I had switched to water+waterwetter)

So a couple questions.
Does the engine go into limp mode for coolant temp, I would think so, could that be the loss of power I was experiencing here and there?

Is there anything more I can do? Planning on adding some better ducting and a splitter but not sure if that's enough.

Wish I could have run more sessions to try some different things but the clutch stopped holding at full throttle.

Check your CSF radiator for a leaky endcap at the welds. They don't last that long. I have one also but I am going to treat it as a maintenance item. 2 years, get a new one.
