IDK, I wasn't there, bit of a bummer. Mondays are full of meetings from 8am to 5:30pm. I'm told AFR and IAT were within safe limits up to 4K rpm.
I'm not going to worry about it if they stay below 900° C (1650° F) because it's running methanol/water injection (triggered by boost/IAT and a LUT) so it's getting a bit of excess fuel (which cools) and in any case, it won't stay WOT very long. With your diesel, you probably want to stay below 650° C (~1200° F)
There may be a dyno attempt again on Thursday and I may be able to break away for that.
That is some amazing numbers if that was a set it and forget it tune...

New fuel pump, back to the dyno
We’re now IAT-limited. The methanol helps but can only do so much. No room for a proper intercooler on this truck, and it doesn’t really need more torque.
Remember: Pua’a can also produce a 186:1 crawl ratio.

Fort Collins, CO to Grand Junction, CO: 323 miles on the GPS-enabled speedometer/odometer. Took 19.363 gal to fill back up.
Not kidding.

Lunch break

Someone on Reddit said Pua’a was too precious and would never see a trail.
Lunch break. After this I had to winch up the waterfall on the return.
Drove home in air-conditioned comfort.

She slaps.
I believe you but did I miss the waterfall winching photos?
Wow that dyno vid is crazy, brings me back to my turbo 4 cylinder days of yesteryear. Welp it's official, time to remove the carb'd 350 and slap in an LS and a turbo or two. No rocks around here to crawl anyways.
Sure beats just waxing it all the time.
