Steve,

Haven't been able to find direct crrelation charts. Optimal way to tune using EGT is first set up engine on engine dyno with EGT and get the temp for max power, you then keep engine in tune to that temp. Carb engines usually make best power in the 1350-1400 range at WOT....higher temps means you're lean and lower temps mean rich. Should have around 600-700 at idle and around 1100-1200 cruisin. Just started using one yesterday to tune car...but now Frances is putting a damper on my testing for a couple of days.
