my truck has the hots

Well I took it out at lunch made one pull to 85. It hit 1250 on the pyro still climbing. Only 24psi of boost. The last full turn of the power screw gave me only 2psi more. Is this normal for a stock DP and exhaust. She hazes pretty good at full throttle. I think I'll back the off boost fuel screw out today and see if it helps with egts. I'm going to need a little more room to pull my enclosed trailer home. Any advice would be nice

1250 pre turbo is no biggy. You might try advancing the timing a bit.
If you are hauling heavy, let up just a bit on the throttle and you wont lose much speed but your pyro will drop.
I have seen 1200 post turbo many times just keep an eye on the gauge and dont hold it there long.
I have seen 1400 post turbo and Im still running that engine hard, no more oil consumtion than normal. Just keep an eye on the pyro and dont keep it there long.
