Default EGT Temps?

I'm just curious to know what the exhaust temps would be? I just got my truck 2 months ago and haven't gotten an gauges for it yet i was told it has a stage 2 fuel plate but i have no idea what fuel plate is in my truck. I have taken the star wheel cover off and seen that the star wheel is all the way a little past the left side ( front of the motor). what would my exhaust temps be its straight pipped turbo back?

any info will help thanks

Hard to tell, keep your foot out of it until you can get gauges and you should be fine.

thansk and i do keep my foot out because i like my mpg im getting 25mpg right now but i do open it up once in a great while to pass slow pokes doing 35 in a 55 zone but other than that it runs great and has no turbo lag at 7200ft elevation

At the very least get a Pyrometer to monitor your EGT's. Others are less of a priority, but good to have nonetheless. If you have to get them one at a time, go with the Pyro first. Its really good to know where your EGT's are when youre cruising, towing and passing slow pokes......

My egts were fine with a #10 plate and straight pipe . Could barely get 1000* out of it. After my current mods though I can bury the 1500* pyro within a couple seconds when floor it. But it's much quicker now
