Default Question on oil temperature

Just thought I'd check with your experience on this. I just recently got my new Cobra on the road. It has an aluminum small block 351W 427. I noticed that the oil temperature generally runs 10 - 15 degrees C above the water temperature. Sometimes gets up arounf 105C (in ~80 degree weather). I have an 180 degree F thermostat. Does this seem normal to you guys?

What temperature should I worry about?

thx

Matt
