Theoretically EGTs should be lower with 7 mm elements.
My SD was more or less stock when I installed my 6mm elements (MW IP).
(AAZ injectors with 293 nozzles and 2.47 rear end).
The stock IP was not very strong (governor setting).
After just changing the elements top speed raised from 170 to 185 km/h.
Unfortunately my pyrometer was not installed that time so I can not verify the theory of lower EGTs.
The potential of power that can't be used because of lack of air will give you a much better mileage.
