Welcome to the TDR.

Pre side. If post add about 300 degrees is the general consensus.

The 300 difference is only on a STOCK truck! Wth my setup pre I can hit 1400+ easily on a WOT run empty. With the same probe post I only see ~800 on the same test!!!!! If you want to be SURE put it pre and 1300F is the limit for safety on our trucks.
