Safe EGTs on a 6.0 PS?????

[brokstoke]

Just did the hole bulletproofing to my 6.0< and i have an H&s mini maxx, and i was just wondering what are some safe egts and when is too hott.... I have the pyro to defuel at 1250, but at the mild setting and you let the6.0 eat, it doesnt take long and your there.. whats everyone think,

thanks

Set the defuel at 1350 and get yourself a 5" turbo back streight pipe exhuast. You wont hit it anymore unless your progrmming to the extrem.

5" over the 4" isn't gonna gain anythin.. I would say try different tuning... with my extreme race pmax stud tune... i can very rarely get over 1400*F from 0-100++mph

Some of my tunes... I have seen 1600*F plus...

If temps are only that high for a few seconds.. you wont hurt anythiing

k, well i still have the stock cold air intake...ive been thinking a CFM intake manifold kit....but if i set the defuel at 1400 and its only there for a couple seconds i should be fine??? hows my stock tranny going to hold up youthink?

That says boost isnt supose to get 30+psi....lol I get up to 35 at WOT

If you get up to 35 you are having a issue with your turbo. It is sticking open, I just had this issue. Means your unison ring is worn and is catching open, and it will eventually eat your turbo housing. With programing maybe it hits 30 PSI if it goes to 35 that is no good. Now that mine is cleaned, and new unision ring it only boost to 28. That is ford spec, you can tell buy running it on AE and run the boost test, at 1800RPM it is suposed to boost 2psi or just over.

My egt's when hammering it pushing my 38's I never get above 1275, most of the time WOT 1150.
