Input on EGT temps

[HalsMag]

The EGT is a calculated PCM read.

Does anyone with added gauges or a DS temp probe know what EGT should be running on a hemi?

I'm surprised that with all the aftermarket gauges, no one has a answer for this.

I swapped tunes and got on it a bit, and saw 1800 calculated.

I bought the Trinity EGT unit and got it mostly installed today. Just need to complete the wiring.

My original intent was to get my Zietronics A/F read over to the trinity to keep from having two separate logs

EGT is somewhat of a foreign language in the gas world

Shouldn't be. It's on my parameters on my gauge set - but a calculated PCM read.
My industrial engines have it for each cylinder, along with peak firing pressure, valve lap, and a bunch of neat stuff that allows us to get down to really low emissions.

My concern continues to be the extreme temps those cat channels show. I just can't believe I'm hitting 1800F and the pipes are not glowing red. No extra pinging, tinkling, or talking to me like they're really hot.

I'll complete the install of the EGT Module when it cools down below 115 in the car in the afternoon.
I expect the probe temp to show a much lower number - just from what I feel if I get my hand near the pipe.
If not, the cat pills shouldn't survive long at those temps.

The install went well enough once I got the right size drill bit. Tapping still took some time.

Thanks for making everything long enough to go from the left side of the vehicle to the glove box.

It will reside there with my Zt-2. Nice sterile location.

Now I have to read up on connecting the Trinity to the laptop. I haven't logged yet with a Trinity, or using a card yet.

Thanks for the support.

I got a response from another forum user with aeroForce gauges, and he was reading 1500.

Then I discover the parameter on the Trinity and it reads the same.

If I configured the DS EGT module properly, the temp is much more like I expected, around 900F which makes me feel much better.
