Default Oil temps?

My oil temps get up into the low 200 range after about 20 min of driving in 90 plus weather. After a few hard 60 to 130 pulls it gets into
the 230's.
Seems a little high.
The car is a 03Z with a forged 347.

Doesn't sound too high to me, considering the high ambient temp and the hard 60-130 pulls. Do you know what coolant temps you're seeing when the oil hits 230+?

This is not high. I was hitting 303 at Road Atlanta when my car was stock with no oil cooler. Now at the track I'm staying consistent 255.
