These are only my opinion, some guys have their own threshholds.
Max EGTs = 1250 Normal EGTs at 70mph = 600-700
Max Tranny = 210 Normal tranny with stock cooler = 110-150
Max Boost = 24-25 Boost will vary going up and down a hill

My tranny gauge fluctuates a bit. The max I've seen is about 160 or so. Just tooling around "normally", it's around 140 after it warms up. Of course, all these temps change a bit with the weather. Expect them to run hotter these days...
