Fuel injector pump temperature?
I was reading about black smoke on my 1900 f250 7.3 and I heard that makes it to hot so I was just wondering how you turn the temperature down or is there something else I need to do

Check your air filter first, may need cleaned or replaced, then you are on the right track.
Also second your timing may be out of adjustment. There are stickies at the top of the page to read covering most of this information. Between the stickies, following advice found in them and asking again for specifics you will get to the bottom of this. Presume no turbo

3 inch is probably a happy size.
You still need to go through all that I suggested before.

But just to be sure once I do all the stuff you suggested and I proceed on straight piping it. Do I cut off before of after the cat? Everything I've read says before but someone just told me after so I just would like to be 100% before I cut it off

before you do anything, get a pyrometer.
kinda funny noone has mentioned this.
you need to keep your EGT's (exhaust gas temp) lower than 1200-ish
how much boost is your turbo making? what turbo is on it?
there are a few things you can do to lower your temps.
instead of turning my fuel down, i installed a front mounted inner cooler.
the cooler the air going in, the cooler your EGT's will be.
i have a 3" down pipe, and 4.5"straight exhaust.
no cat. no muffler. i dont even run them on my 2001, which requires
emission testing.
