Cool Down EGT's

What is the general consensus of the proper cool down EGT on a 2004 6.0 PSD before engine shut off? I've heard 300, my Edge programmer default is 400.

Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I let mine drop to below 400 - 300 would take too long. Not sure if my logic is right, but the flash point of the Delo 400 I use is right around 460 degrees, so I'm presuming it will remain stable below that.

I think below 400 is good but I normally get below 350 to about 325.

I let mine hit 400 then the Edge shuts it down. If I let it wait to get to 350, I'd be wasting alot of fuel.
