Understood the IAT is within the "limits" but shouldn't lower temps be better.
Doesn't compute what you are seeing with higher IAT, running stronger.
Not sure about the IAT & EGT temps... as we all know colder is better for a gasser, for diesels I could not find anything that pointed me 1 way or another so I figured I'd raise it as much as I could and see how it runs. I figured with higher temps the burn would be more complete resulting in a stronger feel to it. I was presuming that the fuel economy would go up with it like that but havent proved it to myself yet.

If you have a scan tool of some sort you could experiment with it and see what I mean.
