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).
