Do you mean idling? My truck would never hit 400 idling. Usually idle about 300ish.

At 55 i run about 600-650. How fast it climbs depends on if your IP is turned up. My old one was maxed out and climbed fast, my current one is at the stock setting and takes about 10 sec of full throttle to hit my alarm at 1150°

U drill an 1/8 inch hole and install the clamp over the hole and the clamp has a bolt welded to it which u thread your sensor into. Its on glow shifts website. If u pm me with an email or a phone number i can send u a picture

I wonder if the sensor is in the stream enough, I idle 2-300, cruise 5-700, and WOT will hit 1000 at around 55-60 from a dig
