Drive it normally with the tune and you'll see temps that you're used to. Work your way into that pedal and enjoy.

Well you guys haven't steered me wrong yet so I guess I'll just go with it for now. So if my foot is to the floor and I hit 1350 for a few seconds I really have no worries??

I pull my trailer through the desert and run at 1250* for hours at a time. 1250* is a number that guys have tossed around for a safe sustained temp for these motors as long as they've been around. Another 50* for a short time won't melt you down. When I've made passes at the track, I've buried my 1600* pyro and never had to go home on the hook. I don't even look at my pyro during a pass anymore, as it doesn't matter to me.

As far as my experience goes, I haven't broken anything with just a tune(X-Race). It's the nitrous that eats turbos and IC's. YMMV

I have a 4 inch MBRP straight pipe, I will trade the muffler delete part for your muffler. I am getting old and it is a little to loud for me, I just got it last month. I think it is 24 or 36 inches long. I will measure it if your interested

You can buy a mount for the windshield but I have it on my floor in between the two bucket seats I hid the cable where the GEM module is I believe.

I put a livewire on my 06 F250! Even on the lowest setting, that truck was loads of fun. I ended up trading the truck in about 3 weeks after installing the tune. Now I have a 6.4 in progress with some goodies! I do kinda miss my tuned 6.0 though!
