Have heard of many people complaining of high egts with the hypertech. Personally I wouldn't run any tuner/chip without gauges. I don't think the benifits are worth the risk. But then again its your truck.

plb7723,
No matter what HP product you get you should ALWAYS use a pyro at least, and you really need a tranny gauge on autos and a boost is alwasy fun to have and can help you with driveability problems too.
I would reccomend the Edge Juice and Attitude, it has 80+ HP as is and you can always add the Evolution later for waaaay over 100 HP. It gets you HP changes as you drive, the gauges, EGT de fueling safety features too. Costs a little more than just a tuner and a set of gauges but in the long run you'll be better off.
Give us a call at the office if you have any questions etc.

I have been running a Hypertech III for almost a year and if not pulling anything, I cannot get the EGT's high enough to worry about, HOWEVER it is CHEAP insurance to have guages. Running 70-75 MPH, I only run 700 degrees empty. WOT for 20 seconds achives about 1150 degrees (and a big grin). When pulling heavy trailors, it is pretty easy to achieve high EGTs. All temperatures are pre turbo.
