A few more gauges ...I have something pretty sharp up my sleeve.

Hey Gary
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I unfortunately had the super in long before the EGT jazz was installed. The only benchmark I have is an article I stumbled on, regarding a Land Rover, saying 700c was nice, 780c was pushing it.

Assuming my gage is reasonably accurate, I'm in that ball park under pretty full load down the freeway. I've never heard a ping or knock under heavy load (not sure I would though)...might go for a romp with the motor lid off and the top up, pretty sure I'd hear anything ugly.

So, I figure I'll probably be using my current temps as a bench mark.


The suspension bars got to make a huge diff. on your car without the aluminum plate. Trivia; long before Pedro started selling those things a guy name Ernie (I guess) created the DYI “Ernie bar”. There was a thread about it somewhere around here.

I just got my little custom PWM valve controller from my man at Aquamist. Got to pickup a little PWM valve and I'm going start putting it all together. Also, I'd like to find a digital data logger so I can figure out what my 7th injector is doing and when to program a preliminary map for my new AIC.

More guages,,go man go...

Regards, PK
