Vince, your EGT numbers are fine for day to day driving. Did you re-dyno your new setup yet? How's the AFR chart showing?

Btw, Dan, on the track, I seldom visit the 800~900C (1472~1652F) region anymore. I have slightly larger injectors and AFR have been tuned to a tad richer on the high end. Also, note that when I peaked 900C, it was without using water injection. The WI system can bring down the EGT significantly.
