Maybe, I don't know. This is my first IDI. Wish more people would contribute to this thread.

I'm not sure what else you would like to know? :) I have a healthy fuel system and my temps are very similar to yours. If you are around the Davis County area give me a shout and I would be happy to help you out or just BS about IDI's.

This is my first IDI as well and this site has been an incredible resource to me.

Dunno if its an N/A thing or not - but I have no trouble hitting 1300+ with it floored.
Idles at ~300-350 depending on ambient.
Cruise is 800-900 at ~65.
80 MPH is ~1100-1150 steady.
Have to really watch it trying to accelerate a load (20-30k) - it really wants to jump then.
Drives like a granny should loaded in traffic (trying to keep it <1250 or so).
No serious smoke at any time. Generally none at all.
1991 F350 7.3 N/A DW steel bed. No mods other than electric fuel pump.

Old Mack (Mack engine) I had never got above 900 even dragging a load it didn't want to pull.
Old Kenworth wrecker I once drove stayed around 800, 950 loaded on the freeway.
The Autocar pole truck never got over 600, but I think the probe was bad. Maybe not.
Old Mack winch truck (Cummins M11) stayed at 400, but it never left the yard, so I can't really say about it.
Seems that the old tech ran a lot cooler ?

24V Dodge 2500 (1998.5) idles about the same, cruises at 550-600 at 70, and you really have to hammer it to get to 1100.
Dodge gasser stayed around 1300 - I guess gas engines have different rules. :)
I'll toss one on the C-70 (427 C.I.) some time. Shouldn't have a problem loading it down. See what it does.

Wildly different numbers just on the stuff I've got.

I'll let you know if I make it to Davis county any time soon. It happens, but not too often.

Interesting thing is, I'm pretty sure my pump is just an off the shelf reman, but it's pushing temps like some performance pumps. I'm not sure if that speaks well for my pump, or poorly of my turbo.
