1780F when I accelerated WOT to 100 mph and then I let out. Sustained while towing has always been around 1000-1100F at most.

I was worried cuz mine hits 1600 in about 6 seconds of close to WOT, on SRL+, and it's still climbing quick. Doesn't seem like a good idea to let it go any higher so WOT is almost useless right now. Gonna delete the EGR and put a 4" down pipe on and see if that has any effect.

Ran out of numbers on 1600degree gauge, on my old extreme street and SLR files. WIth my SPD file up around 1450-1500 under WOT.

My buddies truck with big injectors/turbo i think has hit 1800+ a couple times...
