Default High temp. Low oil press.

I added an oil catch can this weekend and drove the Vette today for the first time since the installation. For some reason sitting in traffic I looked at my temp. gauge and noticed it was around 230 deg. (it never runs that hot) and my oil pressure seemed to be a bit lower than normal (maybe I am just panicing at this point). I kicked on the A/C to cool it down and when traffic lightened up I turned it off and seemed to be OK. What's the deal? Am I just freakin or is somethin goin on? Anybody seen this? I'll drive it again tomorrow and see what happens. Sorry so long winded.

when i sit in traffic for a really long time in my car it sometimes reaches temps of 230, and the oil pressure is around 29.
