egt temps
i was wondering what the max egts should be for my 7.3idit. i have my pyrometer right on the exhaust manifolt though not behind the turbo because that was too much of a pain in the *** to do....so i was wondering if the limit is still 1250 or is it higher because its reading it right off the manifold? because right now when i go up a hill and floor it it reaches right around 1250-1300 thanks

What are you running for an exhaust system?
1200 is rather high for more than a minute of so.
Extended pull, stay around 1100 - 1150.
My reason is the piston cooling jets are spraying oil on the bottom of the piston, and that puts a lot of heat into the oil.
