When the pyro still worked in my truck, it rarely went over 600 unless I passed 80 MPH. Then it was closer to 750. Blasting up a 10% hill rolling a little smoke would sometimes bring it closer to 1000. For driving around town though, it would sometimes hit 400. One thing I notices is after I wrappped the cross over pipe and turbo housing, the temps would stay a bit more consistently around 400 even in light driving. Peak temps didn't see much change, but the turbo response felt a bit better.

here is some help with the firewall, so do it like in the pics below but on the first pic, bend it more on the right side.
This one shows the cuts i made from above. From this view, make one more cut on the left or just bend it more. Then good. Each truck will be different but this worked for mine!

yep the top pic is with it bent back and showing all the new room, the bottom one looking down was pre bending. I used a 2.25" piece of exhaust pipe and some square tube for the tighter areas. Very easy with the cuts, impossible without the cuts.

With my 6 ft pry-bar, I got the firewall almost flat where the lip was if it never existed and gave me lots of room. From your second pic, it looks like you could still bend the lip a little more but if you got the room you needed, I guess your fine.

yeah on the side it only has about an inch or less but the back, its free and clear. Still pondering the body lift but not sure how that works, i guess its just jacking the body up after taking the nuts off the body mount studs and replacing the bushings?

left it wire loomed and put a high temp sleeve around that where it is near the housing and ziptied it to the oil drain casting. Left lots of room between it and the housing and is more than 2 inches away which is double the required space for the heat sleeve to work.
