High egt's ?

I finally got my westach combo gauge installed this last sunday. After driving around since then I am surprised how high the egt's are at 60, about 1,000. During average take off (staying with traffic) it also hits 1,000.Under hard acceleration it goes to 1,200 but no higher even with a 0 to 80 test. While in regen. it stays at 1,200,usually only about 10 minutes. In park it will get down to 350 pretty quick. All these numbers are with out any load. Dose any one else think these sound normal? They seems very high compare to my old 2004.5.
