HOW MUCH HEAT??

[sawboywv]

I know I'm going to get bashed on this..... Very HARD!!
My truck has no gauges, 90k on the the clock.
2003 HO, predator, boost elow, AFE air filter, modded a/f box, straight exhaust, fass fuel pump.
On extreme setting, how hard can it be run??? W.O. throttle?? That kind of stuff
Does coolant temp tell anything important as to related EGT's?????
I have noticed with or with out the downloader that pulling certain mountains my engine coolant temps due rise past 200.

Thanks

"Does coolant temp tell anything important as to related EGT's?????" No
But I would be concerned for your tranny, when I nail it in the Extreme mode I can easily hit 1500 degrees, boost at 34.

i said it before, i'll say it again. if your using after market boxes, no matter how mild or extreme, for goodness sake get some gauges. you spend all that money to turn it up but have no idea what that motor is doing. you could melt a piston at anytime if your not watching yourself. it doesn't take much, especially on extreme. as far as answering your question : theres no way to really tell how much you can get on it without the gauges to see what the temps and boost are running at. each truck reacts differently to added fuel with the exception of adding heat.

the coolant is telling u the engine is getting hot,before gauges i also noticed my colant going higher when i romped on her then i got the egt and eeeeeeek 1300 + ,get some gauges,the quad camander is a nice digital package.
