I notice that this was on a "closed course, with Professional driver".

Looked like fun. Who was driving, and how big was the grin?

well the egt's never passed 1,400*, even on the trip I took with many seriously big mountains. At a few points in the trip I had it locked in 4th, ~2,200 rpm, and it was a wot, sat right at 1,350*. The stock boost stopped at 29 so im sure I was pushing more. I held that for ~ 20 seconds.

At their peaks, coolant temps never touched 220*, oil did but not over, trans never passed 190 on 3/4- wot pulls. On some of the big hills I would just punch it to see how it would do. I would get all the way up to 70 with out issue on ride quality and temp.

I used innovative street tune the entier trip with diesel kleen and 2 stroke.
