Given the mods in my sig line, what would be your opinions on a max EGT going through the traps? I currently have my EGT alert on the default setting (1350). This is probably more for towing than drag racing I would imagine. If I were take the truck to the track, what should I set the alert at (1/4 mile drag strip)?

Thanks!

Uh, hello? This thing on?

Dont know about the third gens but you can see higher than that for a few seconds and should be no problem. I know its not good but I go through the traps with my pyro pegged, stock turbo is killing me...

Move it up to 1450 and see if and where on the strip it trips, if your close to the end, shut the trip off and run it.

Thanks. I plan on running the truck as soon as I get my converter and valve body.

Typically, how much does an aftermarket turbo lower EGTs? Future mods include a turbo. Nothing radical as the truck is my daily driver and tow vehicle for the race car trailer. I'd like to get the truck in the 13s if that's possible without going to crazy or losing driveability.

One of the diesel heads down my way here had his set at 1400 degrees. During long pulls and very long hard acceleration runs it would easily stay parked there. (obviously too much fuel for his turbo) Anyway he found out the hard way that wasn't the smartest thing to do when three of the valve seats dropped out of his head. That was quite an expensive indeavor. So for short durations those temps are fine, but if you hold it there you will want to be a little more cautious.
