What oil temp do you run?
I just moved out to Boulder, Co, from San Diego, and in S.D. my temp never went over 70 deg. C, but now up here, it goes close to 80 deg C, and has gone up to 90. If I am on the freeway it will stay at 70 most of the time though. Could it just be the less dense and less humid air not cooling the bottom of the oil pan where the stock sensor is, like the cali air did?
What do you other Higher elevation evo's run as far as oil temp?

Here in San Antonio, TX I see about 70-75 during the winter but now that it's been over 100 degrees for the past 26 days it will hover at about 85 during normal daily driving and close in on 90 when spirited for a while....

I'm in Colorado Springs, and I don't see any difference in temps than when I was in the DC area. However, what I see is about what you see:
Hot day cruising = ~70C
Hot day stop'n'go = ~80-85C
Hot day auto-x = ~95-100C
Hot day road race = ~110C max
On cold days, everything is about 10C cooler than the above temps.
