Probably closer to 1100 or so pre turbo. If you stand on it from a stop at WOT you should have no problem getting it past 1250* pre turbo, especially with those injectors and the mods you have. Temps will also be higher pulling a trailer. Just get a pre turbo pyro and watch it when you're pulling.

At peak HP I think you can go to 950 post turbo continuously, most people seem to like the pre-turbo reading though(more accurate). If you are happy with the power and are towing, I would just leave it be unless you are looking for big #s.

Post turbo 950* ?? I have run at 1100* to 1200* POST
for a loooooong time and NO ILL effects. I did dump the
16cm and go back to the 18 for better mid range. I do NOT
like the pre-turbo because I lost a turbo and an engine when
the sender burnt off, total cost $15,000 for a new engine.

With PODS it should be SMOKIN' after about 1 minute
