Lowered my EGT 150/200 Degrees

in just 30 minutes......... I removed the BD Outlook and installed my Westach and a new thermocouple, the temp dropped over 200 on top of scale and 80 - 125 at idle.

Why did I do this?? I didn't trust that I could be hitting 1450 degrees so easily and quickly, and everyone elses 600 was running cooler than mine. I put a torch to an Autometer, a Westach Dual, and my Outlook tonight, the probe that is.

When the Autometer and Westach read 500, the Outlook read 625, when the AUtometer and Westach read 1200, the Outlook read 1480.

When I was waiting for the Outlook to tell me that I had cooled to 350 degrees, I was already at about 275.

I swapped probes around and the results were always the same.

I am NOT a happy camper. ( who paid nearly $400, keeping in mind the high boost record is also bogus and doesn't work right either, and the underboost codes were also being set by the flakey plug on the rear of the unit )
