Best way to reduce EGTs

I am running SMARTY Catcher-7 with torque=3, timing=2, rail pressure=2 and stock wastegate. The acceleration is good and the smoke is acceptable, but the EGT climbs quite rapidly and I always have to back out of the go pedal long before I get close to 3Krpm. I have accidently touched 1500 degrees a few times too.

Suggestions to reduce EGTs?

Andy
