My Ford F350 7.3 PSD no towing is around 600 deg. and about 2 lbs boost.
Towing on a flat 800 to 850, boost I cant remember.
Pushing it hard up a hill Sherman Grade Calif, second gear @ 41 - 45 mph. running at 1050 bumping 1100 and back down again to 1050 and a boost of 20 to 24 lbs.
Banks told me never to go over 1100 for to long a period of time unless I was just cresting a hill, a quickey. but I dont generally go over 1050 ever. the real killer of heat will be my Transmission I did put on a big Hayden it did help. If I had an intercooler I would be running a lot cooler and have more power. but power cost money and I look at how many times I have needed that power and the cost, I'll just go up the hill a little slower. like the tortus and the hare.
