When is hot to hot.

[bluebird3208]

I was wondering what other 250 HP cats are running for maximum boost
and pryro temps?

Thanks

I've got a 210hp with an aftermarket turbo. It runs around 950
degrees on a steep hill. I had some exhaust problems this summer and
it was running rich. For a while it would run around 1150 on a steep
hill but climbed to around 1250 when the turbo wasn't turning fast
enough and it was running at its esritch. On a flat road at 60mph it
runs less than 600 degrees. Air temperature seems to make a
difference. According to what I have read, pistons will start melting
with continual EGT's around 1350.
My boost has never registered 10psi. Highest around 7 psi I think. I
don't want anymore boost given the limits of an NA engine.
What are you running?

I don't know yet. I have to put the bus on a grade and see what I got.

I will let you know after a road test.

My '84 would run about 15psi and ~1100*.
