Delete EGR????

I have an H&S Black maxx installed with an Afe straight pipe waiting on intake, do I need to delete my EGR?.....Also what are some safe settings to run my settings at as far as the new fuel boost and trans settings?

The H&S Black Maxx disables your EGR. It's a good idea to delete, but not a necessity.

I run the following:
Defuel-
Coolant (Cold): 140
Boost: 35
EGT: 1400
Oil Hot: 220

Low Boost Fuel: Level 2.

Hope this help.

You defuel when your EGT's get to 1400? Stock this truck will go over 1400 but I guess its better to be safe then sorry. I am similar but have my EGT set at 1450.

WOT, I can't break 1300. Probobly something to do with the 4" Turbo back system as before I defueled at 1450 regularly.
