2005 EGT Concerns & Questions

I finally got my XMonitor installed in my 05 & I was shocked the first time I accelerated in it...what's the deal with these Third Gens that make them run so hot?
I can't quite understand why DC would put out a product without a Pyro in this form? My truck has no engine mods of any kind yet & towing my trailer I could run the XMonitor to 1500 degrees...isn't that a little risky for the guys that are towing 5th wheels & don't really know the danger of such things?
I haven't acctually tried this so maybe the computer will defuel or something to prevent problems but in my truck with no trailer, I can set the alarm on the XMoniter which is set at 1260.
