you would probably be better off with it in the leanest primary. especially if you know how to properly use an egt gauge. by any chance do you go up to spring valley races (masters). someone told me theres a stang that was kickin a$$ a few weeks ago from your area. send me a pick of your car, i live in monroe so i probably have seen you around.

I've got the Percy's dual channel EGT. I put one probe on #1 and one on #6. I was hoping to get one bad runner cylinder (#1) and one average runner cylinder (#6). I've been mainly watching #1, but even in differential mode there's not much difference between the two. Mine seem to peak at about 1363F. I've only got six runs under my belt with it though so I'm still trying to learn how changes in the tuning affect the temp readings.

i saw a notch but i thought it was primer grey and it was running race gas and slicks. cops made everyone leave when i pulled up so i went home. i dont bring a race car down, just go to watch and look for costumers. i build cars and motors so i gotta look at the competition.

as for competition none, haha. i know those guys. i was supposed to do work for them. their cars are slow. i use to beat them with my car all the time a few years ago. are you friends with them or do you race them? we should hang out and make fun of the competition sometime.

jeff, egt gauge can be used to figure alot of things . hotter temps can show lean cyl. and other things. and you can also figure power output to a degree. remember, heat makes power. look at other guys readings and compare. you might find that someone who is really fast has a 1500 reading. experiment and watch the gauge.

i was looking at the auto meter one or a Greddy one cuz who better to make a EGT gauge than a turbo company..

juiceman..no im not freinds with those guys..we taken some $$ from them b4 with out cars..we had a stock 87 lx(my old car) that ran like a raped ape and they wouldnt pay us after i beet them cuz they thought it was modded..i saw that primer notch..sounded good but my car would sound like that if i had dumps also..not my thing..yea we should meet up next time..what kinda car you got

LX XLR8R · 04-04-2001, 11:44 AM

it was larry who wasnt ganna pay me..but then he did..i even gave the guy a flashlight and let him check the car again but he wouldnt..ran him on the way back to shits and giggles and beet him again..i guess the guy thought he had a fast car or someting cause he raced me for $$ with lance in the passanger side..o yea it was plum crazy that i raced..

haha, i know larry and lance. there knuckle heads. ive been going there for around 10 years. that plum crazy car is the one i was supposed to work. i offered him a setup to go mid 12's for 1500 $ and he decided that suspension was the way to go and went to someone else. thats a bone stock motor.
ill look around for you next time im there.

LX XLR8R · 04-05-2001, 09:18 AM

well i found out after we raced that it is not a bone stock motor....he has the stock heads shaved and ported..prolly same with intake..cuz honestly why the **,k would you put a 65mm tb on a bone stock mustang..you dont..the car that beet him had a stock one..along with stock mass air..his story changed around alot..buts its all good cuz his @ss got hussled in the end..my boys crx took down thier GN b4 also..
