low boost ????

today i was driving and realized that for some reason my truck seems to have low boost numbers and high egts. i was crusing at about 45 at 1-2psi of boost and around 500-600 degrees. pulling a slight grade i got up to around 700 degress and a steep long grade around 800. this was all dont in valet mode and with a SLOPPY SLOPPY converter. just curious to know if that sounds OKAY?

It shouldn't make much boost just cruising along. The EGT sounds fine too.

your egts and boost should go up after the trans. You will be putting a load on the engine unlike the sloppy 727.
