I have a CHT gauge on my car, and I don't see elevated head temps in stop and go traffic (although oil temps do rise in those conditions, since there's less airflow to the coolers). I do see the head temps rise and fall in 'spirited' canyon driving. But I've seen my highest CHT readings in steady-throttle driving under load, like a long mountain incline. Oddly, this is when there is a lot of air moving over the heads.

I don't know if that's helpful with your problem, but it's a data point for you.
