Does this sound right?

Ok so I got my gauges installed and everything seems to be good.At cruz speed (50mph) my EGT's are around 450-500,tranny stays at 125* and the boost reads about 3psi. From a stand still to wide open boost hits 22psi and the EGT's hit 1100* and the trans temp stays the same. Just woundering if this sounds normal? All this is on an 02 7.3l with 315/75-16 procomp tires, farmboy 4"exhaust,Air raid air intake and my superchips set at 6000+ safe tow mode.

Yes they sound about right. Boost could be higher with a tune from DP or TW but sounds right for Superchips tunes. Fill out your sig with all your mods. I would also support that auto trans with a VB.

Can't really judge if those are right going by mph. It really depends on how far you're foot is in it, and the grade you're on, and how heavy you are, but they sound pretty close to me too for cruising #'s.

ditto on the dp tuner
