                  EGT monitoring helps with tuning ... it's much more precise than a fuel mixture guage which reads voltage off the 02 sensor and tends to be wildly inaccurate. To make power you actually have to have LESS fuel ... but running your car too lean will melt and kill things, EGT guages allow you to see your exhaust gas temp right at the cylinders allowing you to fine tune based on the temp you see. (higher temp = leaner, lower temp = richer) you need the right combination to get power and not grenade the engine ...

                  Good job Jordie

                    Keep on mind that timing also affects EGT.
                    I will say that a combination of wideband and a EGT will give you the perfect tunning tool.

                    I prefer adjust A/F ratio to a safe level, let say 11 or so, then adjust EGT with timming, then recheck A/F ratios to a more performance level, then re check EGTs.

                      If you know the timing being applyed you can adjust, EGT is use for the extra bit of assurance when tuning.

                            I've got it installed and it works great!

                            Its a huge pain in the ass trying to find a place to run the wire through the firewall so I just used the door to do it for now until I find a better place.
