E-Brake and EGT's

I just finished installing my Jacobs E-brake and everything seems to be working great..... except my EGT's seem to be running higher than normal. With the upgrades listed below I can hit 1000* under WOT running down the freeway. Is this normal for my truck without after market air intake and exhaust? Will adding one or both help lower the EGT's? I haven't hooked up the 5r yet but I will in the next day or two and find out what temps I will have towing. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Thanks Phil
