Default EGT's on gas turbos

Ok, so I was curious on what kind of EGT's I have on my setup, so I bought a EGT probe that works with my EFILive, since I can use it with the diesels too. I installed the probe inbetween the last cyclinder and the turbo (about 8"). What I'm seeing is a max of about 1500-1550* at the end of a WOT run with both low and high boost (7/11lbs). AFR is good about mid 11's in both. Also spraying meth (well, windshield washer fluid) though a M10 nozzle. Just driveing down the highway seems to be around 1150-1250. Anyone have any thought or input on this? Anyone else watch EGT's? What are you seeing? Here's the log.

That is about right for a gas engine. Typically nothing over 1600degF should be done.
