Something tells me that he's going to be seeing 1200F EGTs at idle... and since it's not a street driven car (well, not supposed to be anyway) it should see proper warm-up, then be run hard when it's run, so oil cooling shock shouldn't be an issue.
That said, tossing a 180F Mocal oilstat in there would be nice for peace of mind, even if it's always open.
