If your seeing 800* max, then yes, you have an issue.

Look at your probe could be melted and getting an inaccurate reading.

that would be wonderful if it were true but there is no way it is, your probe must be getting a innacurate reading, might need a new one?

I wish my temp only got up to 800. When I tow my temp is about 800 on a straight away. When I floor it the temp just keeps going up and up. till I let off the throttle and I keep it around 1100 up hills.
