Didn't know it was a stock cam. I would probably get either or, if not both manis and cam. Do you atleast have a lml Manifold on it
Why so hot

Sounds like it!! But just cause you got the exhaust got enough to glow don't mean it's gonna end in catastrophic failure. People see that hot all the time for probably the same amount of time in the pulling world
I think you'd be surprised if you tested the intercooler. I have tested several and they leak more often than not.
At the rpm you are turning, its letting fresh charged air in very frequently. At that pyro temp, but lower rpms, I think the risk would be higher.
We are struggling with same problem. Truck runs same peak egt's no matter the a/r, nozzle size, pulse width, I/c pumps, etc. The only thing we have not changed is camshaft or heads. Already have big cam and maxed out heads, so not really wanting to experiment there. Not much help here though, cuz we are still serveral hundred degrees cooler than you

You might think I am crazy, but I swear my EGTs are cooler with the converter locked up. I think it might be a wasted energy deal. What do EGTs get to if you go from a converter locked 2nd gear roll?
For instance, I tried a different tune that I normally "DD" on for the street, I do not run my race tune on the street, no point.
It was 1850Us on 100% injectors. My race tune for 100% sticks was 2600.
Street tune will get to 1400 and level off, race tune will haul ass until the gauge stops.... around 2000* .
Maybe I need more stages of nitrous :roflmao:

Here's the race tune when I did drive it to video this. no nitrous, just wanted to record the egt.

FWIW, I am driving the truck to Las Vegas this weekend, lots of elevation changes, so will get some good information on EGT's.
I highly doubt changing the exhaust will help much if any. Have you tried different gauges? Do egts climb fast and then stay steady or slowly climb to their peak at say the end of a quarter run? Any idea what your intake temps are?
I do as well. I tried the CTS when I had it, but after going through 5 different egt probes due to Edge's junk development, I didn't get a solid readings. They climb steady. The only intake temps I know of are based on the MAF, which is irrelevant

The only thing I'm thinking is if your intake temps are high it could cause your egts to be high also. This might be were a good aftermarket intercooler could help. Just a thought.
