I got a 04 f250 with 12v and trying to decide what plate to order, I ground one similar to a 100 but was wondering what y'all think.
Colt big stick cam
4gsk
7x10.5 inj
63/65/14
Air dog
Cfm intake
60lb springs
16.5 timming
215 pump
Studded and fire ringed
Zf6 6speed with dual disk
Truck is a daily driver style truck that I will use to haul my camper and rock crawler on occasion.
1500 being too hot is a matter of perspective. It's way too hot to sustain but it is fine for short bursts (30 seconds or less maybe)
As an aside, there is often a good correlation between AFC tuning, RPM and EGTs. Especially RPM and EGTs. Bigger turbos don't like low rpm. I can hit 1200F at 10 or less PSI if I'm below 1700RPM but same for same circumstance except I'll be in a lower gear running 2250RPM and I'll run 850F.
I have noticed for my turbo (similar sized compressor to you) it doesn't cool nice until 2000+RPM.
Also, I would run more timing but that is just me. If it wasn't a 215 pump I would say 19* would be a decent point to try. With a 215, I have no experience. More timing probably since it retards timing at higher rack travel
