Sounds like a good plan. I saw the improved racing insert recently and that is a great alternative to buying a whole new pan. I haven't seen the Holley one but if its similar it should work great.

If you are going to be doing track days with 20 minute road course sessions I would recommend an oil cooler. Even 10 minutes on a road course heats my oil up a LOT. At minimum get an oil temp gauge and get one that goes higher than 250* (280* minimum) so you can see what is happening.
