Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) What EGT gauge range do i need?

[Silver Bullet Ram]

I tried doing a search and too much reading, so what do you guys recommend. I am stock except no muffler and i change the air filter to one of those cold air types. I am looking at gauges, going with Westach, just wondering what range i need for the EGT gauge and yes I am headed towards that downhill slope of power mods.

Most EGT gauges on the market are either 1500* or 1600*. Either range is fine. You really don't want to spend much time above 1400* anyway or you will be seeing cracks develop in your turbine housing.
