Temp spread

I put a Scanguage on my 04 250, so now that I have some info, I have questions. What sort of temp spread should I be seeing on eot vs. ect? Right now at 70 mph, not loaded, the eot is running about 10 degrees over ect. At 60 mph, it's about 6 over. At idle after driving it's about 3-4. Thanks for any and all replies and opinions.

Last time I towed my cattle trailer, I didn't have my scanguage yet. I did pull the boat with the guage hooked, but the numbers were the same.

Scangauge doesn't give you any horsepower,it's not a tuner,just a gauge.

SG2 doesn't have PID's for PCM reported horsepower and torque?

Yes it tells me what the hp and boost psi are. I was just wondering what is normal with a stock engine. You know, what kind of hp can I expect at wot, and what kind of boost. That way I know if my truck is performing in the normal range of expected hp and boost.

This post makes me feel good about my numbers. I have the same "spread" while towing my boat. Other than the ECT dropping at a faster rate after a hill climb, I'm at 10 degrees going up and down the hills of the eastern Ozarks in Missouri at about 85 degrees outside temps. Boat is a 2006 Procraft 215 Combo. Boat, Motor and trailer cant be more than 4K. Went through a storm front during the last tow and the outside temp dropped into the low 70's with rain. Was showing about six to eight degree spread then. Using Torque for android :-)
