It seems a little long. With my 34 row, I'm at 180 degrees in 4 miles (5-10 min) at about the same ambient temp in the morning. Granted, I'm not NA so there's a bit of apples-to-oranges going on.
It seems odd, since a very small portion of your oil is going through the core when the thermostat is closed. With the thermostat closed, you should warm up in close to the same time as stock. Is there the chance that you were accidentally sent the non-thermostatic plate?
