Default What should be the ideal water temps?

Hi I am from the uk and I have got a shelby ali 427 block stroked 484 with ali heads and 2X4 barrel carbs everything else pretty much standard. I think it is running far too hot when I get into traffic or even slow down. On a run its running about 80_85'C but in traffic it goes up past 110'C.
i have the largest surface area Ali radiator I can get in the space available W27.5" H17" D2". I am not sure its deep enough though.
I have two 16" fans one each side of the rad, both running correctly and as far as I can tell no air locks, Water wetter in there. the engine is timed correctly and not running lean.
What size rads are you running and any suggestion to what I can do to help cooling
Thanks Mark
