6.9 pyro

Hello I bought a pyrometer and going to install it soon. I have a couple questions where would be the best location to put the probe? My other question is What should be the highest egt I go up to with stock heads on a 6.9. Would this one be good enough I bought it already http://www.ebay.com/itm/230834243625...84.m1439.l2649

Best place is going to be in the manifold. Mine is between cylinders 6 and 8. Lookin at less then 200* sitting ideling, 4-500* crusin down the highway. Under heavy load it will climb fast. I would not break 1250 for more the a few seconds. Usually if I'm hitting 1150 I'll back out of her.
