EGT Readings

[joegorby]

I'm looking for guys that have stock bottom end on LMM's running set ups like mine: Aftermarket single turbo, bigger injectors and dual cp3's
What are you seeing for EGT's at WOT?
On my hot tune I'm seeing real close to 1600 on an 1/8 mile. I want to try 1/4 mile but I'm afraid of popping a hole.

How much boost are you making? Too much fuel and not enough air equals high egt's

Around 48 psi

Boost seems normal. Egt's will always be high on a wot run, I think your problem can be solved with a little more fine tuning. Your egt's will still be up there regardless.

They won't continue to rise at the rate you see in the 1/8th either. They will level off after the 1/8th.

You can also add a little timing to get the temps lower.

Have a good one,

I agree. My truck gets hot then actually cools down after the 1/8th. I see somewhere around 1600 peak and drop down to 1400 or so by the end of the quarter

I thought it lowers because your rail pressure drops. Is it the same with 2 cp3's?

Low rail pressure is high egts.......

I was going to talk to you later this week or next when we put my truck on the dyno.
I didn't want to bother you!! Guess i should of just texted you!!

It runs great!! I beat a supercharged mustang gt that runs consistant 12.0's at the flashlight drags on sunday

What are you shifting at? I don't see higher the 1300* ever unless it is shifting at high rpms. What about drive pressure.
