I reckon that's the best/worst thing about an egt guage.
You can see how much heat your adding trying to hold a given speed, but just a smidge lighter on the pedal costs hardly any road speed but runs way cooler EGT wise.
So then you're always looking at that instead of the road....
With the new turbo set up I don't even look at the gauge anymore. With the stock turbo eyes were glued to the damn gauge.

Lol yeah definitely not on a stock set up. Not sure if the Duramax has Forged rods or not either. Makes a difference lol. Junk powdered metal for all the newer stuff.

Head studs? Your at that thresh hold. Most recomend em for 60psi and up.
