255 is fine.
I would not worry unless you see it holding at 255 for a while, then suddenly start to rise further...that is indicative of a cooling system that is overwhelmed. 280-300 is the point where the car will go to reduced power and you need to cool it down ASAP.
I wouldn't worry about a bigger oil cooler until you start doing longer sessions or see that the stock system is unable to keep up.
