Even on the hottest day if im on the highway it will not go over 80c for the oil or water, even without the fans on. when it is in the 60's outside I cant even get it that hot. Thats running 10.8 to 1 compression. I am running an oil cooler so im sure that helps but I certainly haven't seen anything in my 4 years of owning the car that would lead be to believe there is a cooling problem associated with the block.
