I then topped it off to see if it would cool the trans temps a bit but it's been the same since and gets up to 150-155 in the recent heat wave of 100-110 degrees.

I'm going to the track soon and wondering if I should just (a) empty out some fluid so that it's per Chevy manual level or (b) do another full swap as I might have f**d it up by topping off?

also curious for anyone's perspective on d4 atf temps in ss and 1les here. i feel like it shouldnt be more than 180 on track and it's already at 160 in super hot weather coasting at 1800 rpm

See that post for the service manual verbiage. You could simply pump 8 oz out. I marked an old water bottle to 8 oz, then used the same pump that i filled it with to drain that small amount out.
