The first question is not specific enough. It varies gear to gear and what RPM I start at.

Highest I have seen it go was ~800 Cel, and that was at 130+ MPH in 5th gear @ WOT

it really depends on where the probe is located. the best way to determine a high limit for your EGT is to dyno the car to a good AFR and then take a look at your EGT. The peak number is upper limit.
