First of all I feel for you, I know high oil temps. I will say that 5500 rpm's is above the 4,000 rpm's recommended for break in. It is hard to stay below 4,000 revs. I hated my first, and later second, 1200 mile break in.
I hope it is just a case of a fresh tight, hot running engine for you. Best of luck.
