275 is not too high for a 2.5 during break in. It really depends on how much throttle you were giving it. If you were idling or slowly driving around and it's at 275, then yes that's too high.
A tight (new) piston/sleeve will create more friction (ie, more heat). After the first couple quarts of fuel your temps will seem to drop 20-30F

most nitro engines will do well in the 200-300F range. The more you keep it towards the 200F mark the longer the p/s will last.

I've seen EB P5's running at 260F during break in due to the super tight p/s fit.
