I would probably turn it down a notch since your not running any gauges yet.

I run the default settings on the Jr's 70HP tune and the EGTs never seem to get out of hand...

Guages are a good idea, but I seem to remember the Jr being advertised as safe for use without guages (although they were recommended)...

I do remember someone indicated the EGTs would get hot while towing on the 100HP setting...
