Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Where should I set my pyro alarm?

[Clmsnow]

On the BD X monitor, at what temp should I set my alarm for EGT's?? I have it at 1280* now but if I have my box on kill I hit over 1300 easily and hate seeing the alarm flash if it is still safe. Granted, I usually only hold it there for 5-10 seconds then need to slow down anyways.

I'd say 1300 is "safe" for a few seconds, even somewhere around 1400 is "safe" for a few shorter seconds, its 1500 or so where pistons start to melt.

Imho 1450...

So running it below 1400 is ok?? How long can you run that high?? The only time I flirt with 13300 or so is with the Comp on 5x5.
