Are my in cylinder temps too high??

So I have been reading that the Smarty Jr. lowers EGT's, which it has on my truck, but at the expense of raising in cylinder temps? I'm running my Jr. on SW1, TM default, and TQ4. This is what I run for towing (10,000lbs) Do I need to worry about my cylinder temps? My engine temps rarely get over 205*(below 200 normally),and so far that has only been towing uphill, in 90+* heat and with a 25mph headwind. EGT's were at 1050-1100 and turbo was at 15psi. I am a little concerned due the overbore on my engine. Input??

You have no issues. It's all in the timing. Since you run default which is stock, you will be fine.

Not sure about the Jr. I have the S06 model and use timing 3 when pulling. It is the next one up from stock. I have had no issues.
