[QUOTE="blackseven, post: 1512435, member: 29355"] I use a Speedhut EGT gauge in the stock EGR position. It always seems to read cooler, but I'm comparing that to the Stock EGT probe before ******** my truck, after the turbo charger which is likely consistently higher temp? I also have Tyrant's SOTF tunes for my '11. I use the street tune mostly and pull a small 19 ft key west fishing boat in 90+ degree heat, EGT's stay under 1000F even on hard acceleration and long pulls. Boat weighs under 5k I'd estimate. The GH street tune I used previously was ok, but I hated it for the same reason you liked it. For some reason they really crank up the exhaust brake, even when not in tow mode. Feels like the exhaust brake is always on, as soon as you let off the throttle you're thrown forward, or taking off from a stop the truck hesitates as the turbo starts to spool. NL tried a few times to fix the GH tune, which only made it slightly more driveable. When towing, though, the tune was great! Pulled my 15k lb 5th wheel with no issues. With the Tyrant tunes it drives more like stock, but just with more power. The Street tune has a really mild transmission tune which is great for driving in heavy traffic. The Extreme tune - switch position 5 gets real aggressive. [/QUOTE]
