Also, Uffe - EGT isn't dependent solely on rpm - loading raises EGT's as the engine makes more BTU as required to move the load and keep it moving - generally:
Idle - 275*F
(Idle loading increases when transmission is in any gear-range - more aggressive torque convertor (lower stall) = higher loading = necessity of add-on cooling - on the other hand, lower stall reduces operating temps because of lower slippage when not in lockup)
30mph - 350-400*F
50mph - 450-500*F
70mph Cruise - 550-650*F
70mph cruise, 5000lbs trailer with heavy wind resistance - 750-900*F, depending on head-wind and terrain - 1150-1200*F pulling that load up a hill (which is where I back off, btw)
I know RPM doesn't give any indication of EGTs

But thanks for writing it explicitly, others might learn something here too.
Thanks for the table, I'll find myself some EGT and Boost gauges for installation soon...
