Stock EGT's

[krodak2]

I just got gauges installed not too long ago and I feel that my egt's are too high for stock. My only mods are a CFM+ smallmouth intake elbow and cat delete on stock exhaust. I regularly see 700-900 when accelerating lightly, about 600-700 cruising, and max of just under 1100 when on it. Also what should the stock boost reading be? I get more or less 25psi max. I am wondering if the cfm elbow is causing a boost leak which is raising the egts. Any have any insight?

I know when I was running stock my egt's and boost were close to what you are having.

yeah mine were rigth around the same exact thing. i thought that too but now i know everything is ok

Well thats good to know that they're normal, but damn they are high. My buddy with a stock cummins never goes over 900. What kind of temps can i expect with an sct and innovative tunes?

My egt's dropped anywhere from 50-150, just depends on how hard you want to drive. But all around lower temps. I saw 34psi boost once and decided that I better keep the heads on the block. I highly recommend getting SCT with Innovative tunes. With the way you truck will perform, you wont get depressed when filling up the tank.

totally different engine, me and my buddy drove about 50 miles him in his dodge and me in my truck. after about 2 hours my engine was still warm, not hot but def, not cold. his was like ice cold. this was about a month ago. weather was still really warm outside

That sounds about normal...cooler than I run most of the time even with my mods. I usually sit about 800 cruising at 75mph and easily hit 1100 under accel...She does cool down real quick though

if you got a 4 in pipe on there they would drop a fair amount, i dont think mine (stock) really got over around 900 with my 4 in pipes
