Fuel limit enable 4000rpm
Fueling re-enable 3950rpm.

Works well on my trucks. Its great for when the honders at the local meets decide to have a 2 step battle. Bouning off 4k in a duramax shuts them up real quick.

This is exactly what I did with mine too :D . Bobo had mine set at 4500 rpm when I first got my tunes, I assume that's safe in short bursts. I lowered mine in case I wasn't paying attention and forgot to shift I didn't feel bad about hitting it.

But my truck had 4 bent valves when I tore it down. I was under the impression that high egts for a long period of time could bend valves. Is that possible or no?

Seems kinda high. I have a boost leak around the y-bridge, dam twins keep blowing the o-ring on the junk factory 2 piece, i need to buy a new high flow one, but anyway i cruise at 70 and im around 650-700 egts.

with twins mine runs 700 so 900 is not really that bad??? Put a charger on it that lets it breath a little and you will net better egts:thumb: LLY chargers = no good egts

ojk just got the truck back and wow im disappointed egr delete did nuthing at all to lower any egts then i put the lml manifold on that did nuthing as well im just out of things elese i ncan do to lkower egts 70 mph im at 900degs thats way to high im thinkin i have a boost leak
900 deg unloaded at 70 wont hurt anything but its higher than it should be. You can pretty much add a zero to my speed and its the same as my EGT's, 50mph 500deg. 60mph 600deg. 70mph 700deg etc. It did about the same with my stock charger.
