Aa/g Egt Target

What Shoulld We Have For Egt's On A 8-71 W/ 30 Lbs 509 Chevy In A 2800 Lb Camero ? Is 1100 Degrees About Right ?

 

With an 8-71 that seems high, but I would think that you are on the safe side there without going any higher. Assuming you egt bungs are 2" from your heads and installed halfway into your zoomie tube.

 

The EGT's are at the 2" distance and installed halfway in. Should we keep it down to the 1050 degree range instead ?

 

EGT's

I tune off the plugs, when they are correct then I make note of the egt's.

Same here. Don't fall into the "tuning by egt" trap. Go by the plugs until your tuneup is right, then use the egt's as a reference.

 

Makes alot of sense. Duh on me !

Thanks guys !
