6-700 isn't bad cruising sounds like you need a bigger turbo brother

I would look into either a silver bullet or thunder 330, something around the 64/74/14 would probably cool you down quite a bit

Thunder 330s are working great.

what file version you running on your smarty(revo,tnt,22,23 etc), what sw level also. I take it you have a rail pressure box on your truck like the mp8, or power puck from reading your sig, that one kinda confused me. Also when you are getting these high egts are you smoking alot. Anytime you add alot of few to these trucks with the stock turbo you are going to get high egts, I have seen 2000*+ before. Pretty much you can get water meth injection to help cool a couple hundred degrees or like the others stated a bigger turbo would be the best thing.

when i got my truck new in 08 i bought a juice because there was nothing else out. i saw 1500 egts going down the road at 55mph while it was in regen. after i deleted the juice with badp stuff,still run hotter than i wanted. when they released the smarty i bought one. boy what a diff. 750 going down a level road. towing heavy with the rpm up around 2k it will hardly break a 1000 egt. the juice with lower tune was around 1250ish.
