Those 370's kill your EGTs unfortunately. They're not the correct spray pattern for our motors.

That being said, there are still things you might be able to do. An aftermarket exhaust and BHAF would help some.

What are you seeing in the way of EGTs?

1400 isn't terrible if you don't keep it over 1200 for very long. Before my new turbo, I buried my 2000* pyro once or twice for several seconds. If you're worried about it, slide your plate back a little bit.
