LMM EGT Experience

Ok, I tried searching, and never really found any info, so I am going to ask this:
What is the Normal EGT temps you see when cruising, towing, and accellerating.

I noticed towing about a 5500 lb trailer that I was seeing temps around 1200 to 1300 in 95 degree ambient air temps.

Under accelaration from 0 to 70 and sometimes while pulling hills (empty, no trailer) I was still seeing temps in the 1200 range.

Seemed kind of high to me when empty, but not much of a difference when towing.

all on stock tune? i see 1200 with 10k on the back on my tow tune hittin a 6% grade and 3/4 throttle in 4th at 70mph. 1200 wont hurt anything. 1300 and above i have always been told will hurt stuff if it stays there for a long period of time.

what do you see at cruise?

Yes, running stock, just using the CTS now for guages. I see 1200 all the time (cruise or gently getting to hghway speeds), and 1300 towing.

I'm wondering if Edge is erroring on the side of caution and showing higher EGT's than what is actual.
