Truck is up and running but egt's are high.

Alright I got the head on my truck yesterday and everything went well. it didn't even smoke on start up. However my cruising egt's are higher now and with a slight hill even set to stock I see over 1000' F. I did change my tires while it was down and I went from 265 AT to 305 MT. I don't think this would cause my symptoms, but I don't know. Cruising at 70 my egt's run 850-900 this is what I used to run pulling. Boost is the same as before, turbo sounds the same and the truck runs fine, but it just doesn't seem right.

You are pulling a taller gear with the bigger tires making the engine work a bit harder.

I hope that is all it is because right now I'm kind of paranoid since I just got this thing back together.
