It definately takes a few WOT pulls for the car to really give full power as the ECU adjusts to different driving styles. As the temperature went up, I could feel power going down without a doubt not to mention slower throttle response but I never got hang ups while revving nor the type of power cut you have.

Getting an oil cooler made all the difference for me, keeping the oil temperature down around 180 makes the car feel like an animal with noticeably more aggressive power delivery and throttle response; have you considered getting one?

Your temps stay around 180? I have an oil cooler and i hit 200 regular driving... sometimes around 210. Keep in mind.. it used to be 220 regular driving and would get near 230.

What size cooler do you have? I have seen maybe 200 while sitting in traffic for 30 minutes but as soon as I start moving, it drops down to 180-190 in city speeds and below 180 cruising on the highway. Maybe your ambient temperatures are higher too being in TX.
