You should try driving F.I. at night when it's cool out feel like 50hp increase.

I remember going to San Diego with my SRT.

At first the car was worse, because it had to relearn everything once the weather got cooler. Thought it was broken until the next day.

It was a whole new car at that point!

I'm thinking it's gonna take a TT setup up to help. Having ridden in a Z configured that way, I think it's gonna be a must have for my long term satisfaction with this car. It's just too underwhelming power-wise, otherwise.

I feel you but when you buy a Z. You have to search for a different auto-orgasm. lol. I choose to live mine in the corners.

You play different auto-orgasm games to have car fun. Usually in the camaro its done at a red light or on the highway (60-150mph etc). You have to find new and more interesting games in a lighter, better sport-suspension tuned car like the Z. A game I love to play is... How fast can I take a 90 degree turn. Another game is, how fast can i exit off this clear highway donut.
I never race, just compare my own stats too past ones. Also, you get some good jolt in the Z if you change your gears between 5500-6500 rpm'sish. with a combination of being aggressive on the pedal. It'll feel pretty fast with a penalty of about 16-17mpg's lol.

Weight reduction too. I think for every 100 lbs lost = 1hp gained? Or something like that.

Its past midnight, 65 degrees fahrenheit. Enter an on-ramp to the freeway, place gear in 3rd. Press on pedal.

But in all honesty, driving the car in So-Cal stinks! You always see the temp gauge hovering at 220~240.

The lack of instant response and a bogged down engine really gets to me, any solutions to get engine temp down?

That's actually ideal oil temps. Keep good quality synthetic oil in your engine and you're fine.

For better throttle response you need a tune (removes throttle delay) along with a less restrictive intake. I would also remove the cats (if you can get away with it where you live).
