Today I was driving home and I was accelerating on the highway and I felt that there was a lot less power/torque. So I pulled over and plugged my AP in to take a look. I thought I might have had some bad gasoline because I just filled up yesterday but I guess it's just because it's so hot? My ambient temp was 98 degrees and charge temp was 130.

Is this what heatsoak feels like?

Were you in stop & go traffic? Do you have a CAI? (usually just a hot-air-intake / noise maker)
Sounds like heat-soak to me. Heat-soak will make your car run like a gutless dog.
You could put your stock air box back on (still don't know if you have a CAI). That would help. Also, you could insulate your air box, tubes, etc. That'll help, too. Also, it wouldn't look the best as far as fit & finish goes, but you could add washers on your hood bolts to raise the hood a bit to create a makeshift cowl induction.

No I don't have any mods except in running a flash tune from stratified.
I hope it's just heat soak although idk what else it could be. If that is what heatsoak does then I am glad I'm buying an intercooler this week.
