-> All I know is the oil temp slowly started moving from 230 to 240,
-> then 250 and still moving  up when I backed off - that was at about
-> 175+mph and 7000 rpm wit stock 4.22 in the May '97 race.  With the
-> 3.78 R&P I never turned over 6 grand

 250 is nothing to worry about at all.  About 300 is when the shit hits
the fan - the lower-melting-point alloys in the bearings will start to
emerge from their matrix as nice shiny little beads.  I learned that
while baking bearings in the oven.
