The turbine section is thermally stabilized within 3-5 minutes of starting the engine. So any additional time will make no difference.

As spannersatcx says, a core wash will give you some 5-10 degrees C improvement on your EGT margin. All depending on the engine condition of course.

Another thing that can degrade the engine somewhat, is shutting it down before the turbine is stabilized thermally.
