check out www.roadraceengineering.com. look around their site and you will find temps. somewhere. sorry, i don't remember exactly where to look but i'm sure you'll find it.

its under the tech articles section

id try to stay below 1600*F. using the jumptronics and and egt will get you pretty good tuning. but running a dsmlink and wb is prolly as close to perfect as you can get.

well, at idol im running 800*f

at wot, with 1.1 bar, with the stock fuel pump i was running 1350-1400*f

at wot, 1.1 bar, with the HP 255, wasnt even breaking 1300

on both, i am running .97-.99 volts on the o2. i think its safe to say im running rich.

oh yeah.

if you thermal wrap the DP, keep the heat sheild on and construct a box to seperate the intake from the engine bay, you should see your egts drop by another 50* degrees

[b_diddy]

i have the box already. where do you get the thermal wrap for the DP?

autozone, pepboys, etc
