175hp pump and egt's. Dr. Joe D. ???

Check out my sig, I've got a decent air filter system and a modified stock exhaust that should be good to the 350 range. I don't think I'm above 300hp or so. Yet, I can make 1450 plus deg. egt if I stay in it in 5th.

I've got fuel to make 45lbs. of boost if I choose with no load. Just the little 1 ton.

My thoughts are retire the 5 and try a #10 plate, and upgrade to a 4" exhaust.

Anyone have personal experience with this combination? Is the 10 a step down from the 5 with a 175hp pump.

Any input is welcome.

Thanks, RJR
