If you do lots of reading in this forum, you will learn so much about your truck. I had no idea I could do all the things I have done to miy truck. I did all the mods you see in my sig myself, thanks to the great people on here.
Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome to the addiction of FTE!! You might get more responses to your question if you start a fresh post about it. I'd give you advise...but I'm not sure about Banks. Enjoy the site!

And yes, you need to add to the temperature if you are post turbo.. Mine is tapped into the exhaust manifold for direct readings..

Welcome Mr Andrew,
what kind of EGT are you reading at WOT, and what kind of chip/tuning has been done to the truck.
BTW, after 25 or so posts you will be able to fill out your signature, so we wont have to ask you about your truck.
with a hot tune at WOT you should see about 1100* +or - depending on other mods. while cruising down the interstate you should see between 600-700* at say 75mph
