how hot is too hot?
At an idle on a blown alky motor how hot is too hot for EGT?
That is an odd question. How hot is to hot... hmmm. Well, 1100 would be. The gurus say shoot for 400 to 500 ish. BUT, you can't be to lean or it will leave like a POS in a drag application anyway.
What you got goin on?

Well fired it off yesterday and according to the valli racing egt gauge it was running about 850. How accurate are those gauges?
you are in the ballpark
Horsepower determines how fast you hit the wall. Torque determines the size of the hole you make.
WOW! You are running 850 at idle and that is ballpark?????
Wow, I'm a pansy I guesss.

I am no expert by any means. I got my info from this thread on insidetopalcohol.com. www.insidetopalcohol.com - Tuning Port and Hat Nozzles
I started it for info. Page 2 (should be the link) Mike Cantor gives information. I honestly do not know one way or the other. Cantor seems to really know his stuff, though. I'm not slammin anyone. I was trying to get a handle on my setup.

Not slammin you Wags I have heard around 850 to 900 is ballpark ,,,Maybe I am off we will see...

If I'm gonna error one way or the other I would rather be fat. It's not a race boat just for the lake.
Alcohol is for drinking. Thats everything I know about alky.
If your idling it on the trailer, odds are your going to find out its undrivable, or at the very least does take the throttle well. Alky MFI systems tend to need a fairly rich idle to take a throttle hit without stumbing.

The problem with Obama jokes is that his worshippers don't think they are funny, and the rest of us don't think they are jokes
allright I pulled the dyno sheets on my motor the egts are about 880 at 4100 and run up to 1000 at 6400 rpms

After looking at my dyno sheets the egt at 4000 is about 1000. Drops to 900 or so at 5100 and jumps back up to 1150
At 6800. Kinda makes me wonder how accurate that valli racing gauge is
Ken, 1000 degrees @6400 rpm is a fat pig
