Also, you said you were going uphill and at those engine temps you are getting massive amounts of heat soak into the air intake system.

Overall I would just say your car was just running hot, I know your past with an oil cooler, but a better intake & oil cooler at those temps will help keep the car running at maximum output even when hot.
i agree. i think i may have experienced some sort of electronic limiter. i remember reading that once the Z had over 5k miles on it the oil cooling issues wasn't as bad. Im hoping that may be the case since my car has a little over 2000 miles. i think its really gonna show once I re dyno it with full bolt ons to see wether or not my past issue with the oil cooler damaged anything or not.
