Oil temp?
Just replaced the long block in my 6.0 (used) now I have a question about eot/ect deltas. I read 15deg is the magic number however crusing down the highway I am seeing ect at 195 and eot is 220-225. I realize i am still in the safezone but before the truck went in the shop my deltas were always within range.
I am running an egr delete, new therm and bpd water pump. Also have a hot tune but keep in mind this is crusing 75mph down the highway, no towing. Egts @800
Thanks guys

try running the truck at 65mph for 15 minutes, flat ground, no tow and see where you come out.... that is the test criteria.
EGR delete, your safe but towing would probably not be and really at that point, I'd be considering an oil cooler. Run the test from above before sweating to much.

The AirDog lift pump can do 75psi... the regulated return and Fuelab regulator are working against each other and the pump.
Nice list of mods.... now you need an FICM tune to go with that "hot tune".
Will surprise you what the Atlas will do paired with some hot tunes!

I just had my mine rebuilt in January and I am getting an 8 degree delta @ 70mph.
Will a ficm flash really make that much difference if you're already tuning the pcm?

I prefer FICM flash over a PCM flash,but that's just me. I feel you get better mileage that way on the highway. Around town now that's a different story, the gloves are off on that one. I live around a lot of self centered people in HIGH end cars.......I can't resist. LOL
