Default Exhaust Gas Temps
Has anyone used an Infared Gun as a means of monitoring EGT's and header temps as a tuning aid? I recently purchased one and used it today for the first time today. Before doing so I checked the timing and adjusted it to 14 degrees at 900 RPM, giving 36 total by 2400 rpm. My observation was 6 of 8 cylinders betwen 385 degree and 410 degree range, 2 cylinders were in the mid 260 degree range (???) This was measured about 1 1/2" from cylinder head at idle after a thourough warm up. How can this be interpreted?? Running 48 IDA's, which are rich at idle.
