didn't want to splash this all over the other thread.
im happy with 1300f as my max temp tbh tp. don't forget this is the gas temp not the temp of the piston which is cooled by air,oil and a jacket of water. the probe is in the manifold so it is measuring the combined temp of the gas exhausted by all six cylinders.
I also use the egt gauge as a "turbo timer" turning off the engine when the temps come down to 300f.
am I right in thinking you havnt increased the fuel or upped the boost? if your running as stock how easy is it to get into the danger zone? how many people without a egt gauge running a cruiser as set from the factory are going over 1300f?
