Dave, I was wondering how quickly the EGTs increase during your typical 1/4 mile runs. I think you said you can do it in around 17 seconds. I know this won't be exact, but would you be willing to estimate the EGTs during the run, ie how long until 900, 1000, 1100, 1200 ack 1300 :)
I put something together that might help your EGT temperatures, but I'd like to see what the timeframes are first.
