Default high egts or not?

put ADR on my truck and if its turned up, even around 4 my egts can get up to 1200 easy by accelerating in overdrive and they have gone over 1400 just gettin on it a little ways, should they be runnin that high so easy? curious cause the pullin tractors i help on only run around 1400 and they have around 1200hp

I Wouldnt Keep it around 1400 for to long but if your only there for a few seconds everything should be ok I would put a 4 inch downpipe in it and if you wanna run way lower EGTs put a water/meth Injection Kit on it

oh and Buy the way if you wanna keep that VP44 alive on that truck dont ever take that adrenaline over level 3 without a fass fuel system my buddy justin fried his vp44 on level five in about ten seconds I Cannot stress enough BE CAREFULL

ok thanks just wanted to make sure it was reading right and somethin wasnt up with the sensor, shouldnt have to worry about it to mush have to keep myself from turnin it up before i end up replacing my IP and my transmission. havnt had gauges untill the ADR so didnt ever know what they ran with my superchip

I run my ADR on stage 10 and can get to 1200 degrees and have backdown on HOT days outside... I cruise around 600-700 degrees doing like 70 on stage 10. I make about 35psi of boost on stage 10 also... I do have a straight pipe.

Whats a silencer ring?
