Even on a cool day, my average oil temp is 220. If the race cooler has a 40 degree reduction, would still be at 180 right? Also, I plan on running a supercharger, I have a feeling this will kick up temperatures a bit. Is running the car with too low an oil temp bad, and what is considered too low for this car?
I notice that the car runs really good and feels way more responsive when first starting up in the morning, but as soon as it starts creeping into the 200 range it starts to feel sluggish.

This may be too obvious to mention, but when you first start it up in the morning, it will run rich. This would make it feel more responsive. The ECU will obviously take that down after a few minutes of run time (it's usually only a minute or two for me at around 50-60 degrees ambient).
If the effect you're talking about is different and lasts all the way up to 190 degree oil temp, then please disregard this post
