I have a pyrometer installed in my truck right now that I used to keep track of EGT's with the turbo. Is there any reason to monitor EGT's with the supercharger?

 

More gauges= faster.... right?

No, I would think as long as you monitor IATs there is no reason to care how hot it comes out, it's going to get pushed out either way.

 

wouldnt hurt to leave it tho, its already there and it'd be something different, just outta curiosity what were they with turbo and what are they with the s/c

 

If you're trying to get the most out of your motor, running it on the ragged edge, and you don't want to have an unscheduled rebuild, it might be a good idea. If you get a little too aggressive with boost, no matter whether it's belt driven or exhaust driven, bad things tend to occur.

 

I'd leave it Chris, they'll be lower than the turbo'd setup since there's WAY less backpressure than before but still a good tuning tool either way IMO. Put the probe in the collector.

 

I'd add 7 more.....

 

Add +1 more for his butt...

 

Don't talk about my butt like that

 

why are you ditching the turbo for your truck?? what a/r did you use? just wondering a garrett 4202r is what i was thinking bout using if i didnt use a turbonetics t-72

 

Several points on this one.
EGts are good if you are watching all 8 holes, or checking for problem spots. There down fall is you can have HI egts and still be rich, and so call safe tune. AS well as hi temps from being lean and unsafe tunes.
I do like EGTs on pulling applications, becuase you can be good on air fuel but pulling a heavy load up a hill under a lots of pedal, things can start getting real hot real fast even with a blower especailly with turbo.
Air fuel shows the mixture
EGT show the temp of that mixture.
