I don't have gauges yet either but they're next on the list, even before a chip.
I do know that on my stock idiot gauge my heat temp guage jumped to 3/8"
as soon as I would start my truck and never move, in freezing cold to 100 degree summer driving. But as soon as I put the 6637 filter on, drilled a Zoodad through the grill and put a BTM flow through muffler on my stock exhaust I looked down and my temp needle never left the C mark. I've driven it in traffic and WOT and it doesn't move off cold now so that tells me my EGTs are substantially lower. Couple that with the fact it woke my sleepy 01' up and I've gained so much response and hp throughout the power band by just letting my PS gulp cool air a chip is now a luxury perk, not a must have item.
