Couple of questions....

I have a 2002 and I just ordered a phoenix, an edge insight is going to make it out here probably around christmas time , and I will get the pyrometer with that. I was wondering the same thing and I was told that on stock injectors and exhaust we aren't going to get too high of EGTs... Once we are towing something heavy the EGT's will climb, so a sensor then would be a good idea, but if you are just using it as a daily driver then you will be fine for a few months with the chip and no gauges. The other benefit of getting the chip sooner is that if you drive right, you might see better gas mileage which will help offset the cost of the guages

I don't have any trouble getting my EGTs to 1200+ using my 80DD or 100HP programs when I put my foot into it, and I have stock injectors (at least I think I do). You might want to be a little cautious until you get some gauges. At the same time, I am starting to question what EGT levels are "too high", especially for brief periods. I would also recommend getting a boost gauge. If you get a boost leak, you need to know about it. Boost leaks cause higher EGTs, among other issues.
