You will see it is not "irrelevant" if you ever tear your engine down to rebuild it. Those high EGT's effect alot of parts even though you don't think they do.

Yep 100% irrelevant...took it apart and she was beautiful inside....pistons were happy, walls were clean, and no mushrooms...

Why do you think all the Smarty trucks melted at 1200*?? And youll almost never hear of a properly tuned truck melting...aint got crap to do with EGT's...

If EGTs don't have anything to do with it what dose?

Well,....I would like to see your parts Sir because I definitely don't agree with you! And I don't care how well the truck was "tuned."

You and I will just have to "agree to disagree" on this subject.

My truck would run EGT's of 1350-1400 stock towing. So that is what I use as a guideline. If it melts or has melted, so be it.
