I've noticed acceleration is not as lively when the engine runs this hot compared to initial startup in the morning when the oil temp is below 200F. Is this common? Car feels really sluggish accelerating from a dead stop . I notice that I'm having to give her more gas to get her going.
I've got 6 speed manual and no oil cooler atm and just hit 4k miles. I'm hoping this isn't a clutch or fuel injection problem.

The sluggishness is not your oil temps, but your IAT temps (Intake air temps). It's very easy to hit 150 degrees while sitting in traffic. The ECU pulls back timing when it gets that hot and the car will consequently not feel as perky as when the air temps are cooler. Perfectly normal actually..
