Normal Temps for Pyro

I was just curious......what are the normal operating temperature ranges for a pyrometer? My truck varies from about 375 degrees (Crusin about 45 mph) to 1000 degrees (Lettin the smoke roll.) Are these the ranges other people are seeing. All yeah my pyro is mounted pre-turbo.

Thumbs up pics.

Would love to see some pics of the truck. I like the idea of the virtual grill but to date havn't seen on installed. Not able to help on the pyro temps. Mine is mounted post turbo so the temps would be quite a bit diffrent.

Your low end temps are the same as mine, but my WOT temps are much closer to 1200+. Don't know how accurate the pyrometer is. For my trucks sake I hope it's registering high. I no longer run WOT without keeping an eye on the pillar guages.

At 70mph/2000rpm I'm reading 650 on the pyro. Pulling a trailer up a steep hill, I've had mine over 1350.

Sounds ok to me. I've hit 1150* on my stock truck.
