Damn Wilde, them some high temps!!!

Well my probe is only about 4" from the last exhaust port, so that probable why I'm a bit higher then the guys who have it after the y-pipe. I posted this on tech, and DrTurbo said that its about right for a gasser, not to let it get much pass 1600* which I don't see happening.

I would check your guage, or look into getting a new one. Where do you probe it at? 11000 or do you mean 1100? At 11000 degrees even cast manifolds would come apart let alone your pistons and heads.

Congrats, your EGT's are hotter than the surface of the sun! Next time I need a tan, I'm coming your way
