At idle about 300*
Cruising speed 700*
1250* is the limit. You can go past that for short burst

To high is above 1250*. Normal depends on your driving style and mods.

Doc said it would take several months for my eye to get better Mike, right now I don't stand a chance on my IPhone!

Ya Bill, I'll get that new turbo, injectors redone and a bullet proof trans and then after another six months on the road next year it will probably be time for a engine rebuild, LOL. Normal, what's that??

Lets be honest guys, if we were anywhere near normal, we would take our trucks to the shop for everything and get Jiffy lube oil changes. If we were like most "truck guys" we'd be over on PSN or PSA! We're nowhere near normal on FTE

That's about right, a 200* difference. At the manifold is about 1250 max and at the turbo 1050.
