Get a 6.0 I/C and then check the temps. If you're still not satisfied try a different housing/wheel or charger. Both of course come after you do all supporting mods IE: intake/exhaust etc...

Also, you can run @ 1200*'s all day long and not hurt a thing. Once you start shooting into the 1250+ area for sustained periods is when you gotta worry! You can slow down and run higher RPM's and that should lower your egt's a bit too.

I'm currently making around 320-330 rwhp and over 700 ft/lbs, and in 65 degree temps towing a GCVW of 17,500 (give or take a few lbs) I can stand on it from a dead stop up a hill and I'm at 65 before I hit 1200*s....

Your making that much power with out a tunner? the dyno is a dynocom, Its a load dyno with a eddy break, Ill have to post some video of some of the cars we do, We mostly do Lighting and Cobras, we are an SCT Dealer and do custom tunning for them, hopefully we can start doing diesels too!
