EGT'S for a stock system

What should be a normal EGT while running down the highway unloaded with a stock setup? My 1993 is running 4-6 hundred at 2100 RPM with the cruse set. Is this normal or running on the warm side?
Thanks in advance

That sounds about right. Mine runs about 400-550 on flat ground at 3-5 PSI of boost.

Those numbers are just fine and your little critter will last a long time there.
Just dont get caught in the crispy zone. . 1000F is absolute max and then one needs to be thinking about shifting or backing the boot up a little.
Over 1000F is asking for trouble
