The skid plate is the wrong place to focus on engine or trans heat issues. That skid plate is a critical part for lower protection and you will eventually regret removing it.
Since heat always rises, getting heat out at the top is the answer. But, I agree with others...this is a cooling system problem. By now, the system probably needs a complete flush, and replacement of hoses and belts and thermostat, if not the actual radiator itself. Trouble shooting the electric fan action is critical as well. My 18 year old 89 SPG stays below the middle of the gage even in very high ambient temps,and is only at 1/3 in normal weather conditions, but the system has been maintained throughout its life.
