Too high, though not dangerous.

I assume a WR?  It might pay to check that oil is actually passing through the 
oil cooler.  There's a curious sprung plunger assembly in the WR's twin filter 
holder that seems to control flow to the oil cooler on a thermostatic basis - 
I've never had one to pieces but it's on my list of things to have a damn good 
look at if I ever get the chance.
 
Really, what I would like is someone with your symptoms within, say, a twenty 
mile radius.
