EGT temps?

I got my pyrometer installed finally, and let it run to see where I was at before I messed with the fuel pump.
I can't get it to go over 800 and thats pretty much hammering on it.
I know like 1300 for a minute will fry a turbo. I assume I'm same to start making small adjustments to the fuel pump?

Where did you drill for the thermocoupler?

Is your truck N/A or turbo?

800* is a really safe point to start at, you can definatly turn the pump up. I have my pump maxxed and my max EGT I see is about 1000*

Right where the the manifold meets the y Pipe. Put in the y pipe. Cast scares me

I'm n/a I haven't put the truck to the floor yet, but i've got on it. I get a little white smoke when I get on it thats about it. Deff no coal rolling action going on.

Its easier to do it on the driver side so the cable isnt running over any hot pipes and is closer to the entrance to the cab.

im pretty sure you'd be ok running it up to 1100
