bad tc. no load means no real boost and no heat. replace tc and fix tranny and should be able to hit anything ya want

My old truck was like that. I did the same mods you have done and i was lucky to smack 900-1000 degrees. and that was pullin a trailer. my trans was not in good shape. Torque converter was in reeeaaalllyyy bad shape. i imagine if i had a good one it would have burried my my pyro. imo

How hott do you want it to run?. the key to tuning is to make as much hp and tq and run as low of egt as possiable. im confused, it sounds like you want it to run hot. 30psi and 1000 degrease is not bad at all. Mine is 30-35 psi and 1500 degrease. I hate it. I didnt see your sig?. have you filled it out?
Sorry if I came off as an A** hole im just confused with what you want as far as egts go. Remeber: the further you turn it up the faster your trans will go
