maybe the pyro is just sensitive which it should be. When you guys race or hammer down throttle r u actually going to the floor? I can accelerate hard gradually without going to floor and egts will just stay around 900-1050 or so. If i mash it right to floor itll climb FAST. if i turned alarm and max off I bet i could easily hit 2200

Bet you can't! Seriously doubt your engine would survive long enough to reach that temp. Just ask Triton. [sm=badbadbad.gif]
(no offense intended toward Triton)

Although, if you get it there, we'll want pictures of the aftermath....

if anything the cold temps would bring down EGT's.

these 3rd gen engines are built to withstand 1300 all day long without any problems. 1400 is when things get a bit funny, but that is sustained, short bursts up to 1500 are ok. .. but only for a short burst as damage to the valve ring will occur if sustained without proper mods.

EDGE told me today to test my pyro with ohmeter and test for 1.5 to 3.0 ohms. So I will. They also said unhook pyro (2 screws) and drive around and see what attitude says. if it says same values and rises quickly its my juice ecm. if nothing at all happens then its the pyro.
