6.7s run pretty cool compared to the older PSDs in regards to EGTs once deleted. Magic numbers are still the same. Try not to see 1200° sustained. Hottest I’ve seen with my tow tune towing extremely heavy was 1100°

Aluminum melts at 1250°. But short bursts aren't going to hurt a thing. After I deleted, I have to be pulling really hard while towing to even see 1150. Temps aren't an issue. Nothing like the 7.3
