That said, some people (myself included) have noticed at times some sluggish low RPM response when the oil is > 220. I don't know what that is, but it isn't limp mode.

That is because your car is retarding the timing to make the car sluggish. This was brought up in another thread on this site. It took me less than 2 minutes to get from 235-260 doing some canyon carving in the high deserts here in cali. A.T. was 103 and when i got into palm springs it was 116. I was able to do about 70seconds worth of wide open throttle going up this canyon road and it shot up to 260 in no time. I had to baby it for the next 20 minutes to get her to cool down. I too did notice it getting sluggish.
