Well, 150*F is within 30 seconds of running.
Hmmm... 150 degrees is normal. If the clutch is 250 or higher, then that is a problem, but 150 is close to the lower end of the temp range. It appears your clutch bell is shimmed perfectly - tiny gap between the bell and the flywheel.

How does the truck run? If there is excessive slipping (no punch), check the slipper clutch behind the spur. If the clutch bell were slipping, the temp would be a lot higher (250-300). One other thing to check if there is still audible/noticeable slipping would be the clutch nut. Tighten it down on the flywheel just a tad more, but this is a last resort. Let us know how it goes.

A loose slipper was the first thing I checked and then a loose clutch nut. Both are tight. I have one of those clutch lockout tools that allows me to really tightened the clutch nut. I'll try running it again and see what happens. Tell you what though, I'm not liking it.
Anyway, just for shit and giggles, I went ahead and tightened the clutch nut and slipper clutch. I went downstairs for a test run and after 1 minute, the temp shot up to 346*F. I didn't have my camera so I hurriedly went upstairs(I live in the 8th floor of a high rise towerand I used th elevator) and by the time I check the temps, it was already down to 158.5*F. It was smoking a bit when I was downstairs. The air temp is about 48*F too.
Tell you what, it still wheelies. It almost flipped too since I ran it on 6S

Here's a pic. You can see the melt marks on the spur.
