quick when cold, slow when warm

91 SE 5spd. I have the following replaced:
O2 sensor
fuel injectors
PCV valve
cleaned MAF sensor
water temp sensor
cat converter
y-pipe
muffler

Why is my car "peppy" when its first started, then when the temp guage reaches the normal temp it seems like its bogged down? Please help.

on a VE I'd say knock, but on a VG
it's obviously a sensor that kicks in when the car goes into closed loop mode

So there isn't a knock sensor on the VGs?

The engine has 150k and the timing belt was done at 111k
