Smile oil temp

I have a stroked 302 making about 500 hp at the flywheel. I have a 7 qt pan with a remote oil filter and no oil cooler.
On our retrip from the London Cobra Show a few weeks ago my oil was 240 for most of the trip(535 miles). It was close to 100 degrees that Sunday. My water is 195 to 200 all the time and the runs 225 to 230 most of the time.

Most of us don't drive a Cobra enough and a spring oil change is all that is needed. IMHO
