Question More boost the answer??

I installed my 370's about 2 months ago. I'm VERY happy with them, but I do have one question/concern.
While on the open highway at high speed, I get EGT's up to 1100 post turbo. This seems a little high to me. It's only high when I'm up around 85-90 mph and if I hold it to the floor. By the time I reach 95, it's at 1100.
Granted, this is not an every day occurance, but I havent put it under a substantial load since I've installed them. This is my real concern.
Driving around town, I really believe they give me a lower EGT. Also, when I go to park, theyre almost always under 300. My "old" ones usually required that I wait a minute.
Again, I'm real happy with them, just want to know if something can be done about this (more boost somehow?) or is this "normal".

PS I did notice that I had a few more pounds boost after the installation. Maybe a few more would help?
