Default Who is running pyrometers on their blown engine set ups? What brand are you running ?

Are you running them on all cylinders or one on each side of the engine? Thanks for any input Rm

We run all 8 on the dyno. It's a must when dialing in anything port injected. Pretty sure we got them through Performance Trends.

that’s the thing there are no dynos here. Certainly not one for 1000 ponies. So I have to tune it by my egt’s

I wouldn't use them solely to tune. You can chase your tail and get in trouble very quickly. i run these https://www.altronicsinc.com/data-re...ecorder-1.html

I have them on my 1200's, the probe is located about 2" up form the flange in my Stellings on the back cylinder. It's pretty much the only gauge I don't really pay much attention to..

Do not use them for tuning purposes. Injector trimming is one thing...by the time you react to it being too hot its too late.
Use an AFR and leave it on the fat side to be safe.

I’m running twin Holley 850 dbl pumpers on my set up. What do you recommend for an AFR? Thanks.
