I know mine is different aspiration, but pretty much lb/ft for bhp the same stats...
I have a 16 row oil cooler, stock Nissens rad and mine sits at 75c when cruising, and even during a 2 hour open pit session on Saturday at no point did it go over 80c. Infact, even before I put the new rad on it, at Mallory last year it didn't ever go above 80c.
The only time I've ever seen it go over 80c is when it's stationary in traffic, and even then it gets up to around 95c, fans come on and it drops back to just under 90.
I know you are throwing heated, charged air down it's neck, but I wouldn't have imagined at cruise it should be that hot as there's very little boost going in - is there?
Have you checked the basics? Rad not blocked? Water pump is new? pipes all clear?
