the coolant temps you are talking about are pretty scary to me. I would definitely change something. we have seen quite a few 90+ degree days this past summer (maybe a few 100 degree) and my temps run right around the 190 mark. not sure but I think I have a 195 thermostat.
it really isn't worth screwing up your motor. I will say that you stayed with it and gave it a descent go but maybe it is time to move on from this as your intake temps probably are pushing your coolant temps up at least to some extent.
and power does go down the crapper. once you hit the 200ish mark for IAT, you really notice it.

I would also be very careful not to push it to much with these high ect's.
Your car is on the verge of going into limp mode to save the engine.
