High Oil Temp = power + throttle response loss?

lol I was in 2nd and was doing about 30 mph and bounced it off the rev limiter. When I went to shift to 3rd I looked in the mirror and the civic still somewhat kept up. I was expecting to completely lose him but I wasnt pulling as strong as I though. When I did this I must have been at 265 degrees or womewhere since it was right after I decided to pass the cars. One of my friends has an 08 C6 coupe and that thing pulls on the Z like you wouldnt believe. But in comparison, the Z and the C6 compared to the Z and the Si, there would be a much larger gap between the the Z and the Si than the vette. Im just confused as too how people notice any gains from the bolt ons on this car. When I started modding my RSX I didnt notice any gains until I K-PRO'd it and even then all I felt was torque. Not sure how much faster it made it top end wise. The last thing I do will be FI LTH and then Ill re dyno it to see if full bolt ons will help as much as I think they will. Im a little disappointed with the Z. It takes turns great but an S2K and civic... not right man. not right.
