That's not bad. I cruise at over 1200. Getting close to 1500 is fairly normal.


Part of why your high load EGT's could very well be due to conservative timing. The less advance, the higher the EGT's, since the charge is burning later. If it was hotter than that, I'd be worried about valves, but you seem to be sitting decent.


Where is your probe mounted? I used to have mine mounted in a funny spot (where the collector comes together before the uppipe) and I'd see over 1700. That has to do with the turbulence at that spot. 2.5 years and I didn't burn my motor down...

my probe is mounted in the downpipe , i know the temp is not a huge problem but just wanted to know if it was possible to do something to keep it as low as possible ,will be better i think
