did a wot blast on the highway and my highest egt was 1440. I know its rich. Just wondering what the o2's would be at that EGT. I have a scanmaster but I dont even bother with the o2's on it.
 
I am guessing low 900's to high 800's, since 750 O2's are around the 1600 mark.
Just a guess......:)
 
1625* is as hot as I can get without KR at top of third gear
o2's are too hard to tune by but they are around 750 or less.
I still run the stock chip, turbo, intercooler, engine etc.
 
i read on this section before that someone had o2's in the 820's which was 1500's EGT.
 
I run 820s at 1650. How many times we gotta say that the stock oem O2 is basically meaningless once it leaves the mid point?

It is called a narrow band sensor which means it is only accurate in a narrow band and that narrow band is centered in the middle of the range.

Then, we have to learn that there is no magic number. One guy's car may run best at 1525 and another's at 1675 with the same egt gauge. Combination affects performance ranges.

You start with a base line and go leaner, if it goes faster, you go leaner again, until it either slows down or starts detonating. If it goes slower right off the bat, then you go richer until it quits going faster and then you back up to the prior point. Look at your egts and shoot for that number until you change something.

There are NO magic numbers-only what works in your car. It is a lot easier to tune these cars if you ignore folk lore and take the time to find out what works for you.

I agree 100%
Tuning is the fun part for me :)
 
On my car...using a dig egt guage..820's get me 1500 and 790 gets me 1570.The higher the egt..the leaner it is.

I personally like 780-790 when on alky..I get no detonation..barely..and so far no ill effects.
