Default Oil Cooler/Temp issue (no it's not what your thinking)

So I think I am getting pretty decent at this thing and pushing the car to what I think it's capable of but..

I was at the track this weekend and the air temps were in the low to mid 60s the whole weekend. With a 34 row oil cooler the gauge was reading 260, same as it was when I had the 25 row cooler. Engine Coolant Temps Peak at 230F.

Is there something wrong with the oil cooler? It seems to be working when not at the track. Temps get to 180 and usually stay there so I think the thermostatic sandwich plate is working correctly. Maybe it's a flow issue? I really hope I won't have to add more cooling but I am suspecting I will.

Thoughts?
