1200 on the EGT gauge is fine for short periods,like pulling a hill or something like that. If I was going to run this temp all day then we need to do something to change it. This is from the FORD dealer that I got the truck from. I have a chip for towing and 4" exhaust, and the FORD AIS air filter. There is a diesel truck here[F350] that they use for pulling and run EGT at the port 2000 and no problems.Trans temps run pulling the 3475 between 150 and 180 with just the cooler and pan that it came with. I was told if the trans temps come up and the RPM comes up a little while traveling the same speed the trans is starting to go south. Yes by all means get the gauges and use them but watch where you are driving. Also check the other gauges also.
