Are these EGT #'s normal ???

This weekend, I pulled the 5th from Phoenix to Sedona. EGT's ran about 1050-1100 with spikes up to 1250 & 1300. The highs came while pulling up 6% and 7% grades. Edge Juice/Attitude set at level 1. Is this normal for my setup ??? Should I be concerned ?

45 gal aux tank was full, 5th is approx 12k lbs dry, but probably closer to 14k lbs loaded.

I'd say they are normal. I can hit 1100 degrees empty while hot rodding around.
