Trust your EGT gauge over your AF.
Don't lean it out so much with your AFC.

lean it out, i've seen exceptionally high egt temps after installing afc because of running so rich...

i have not even done any tuning with the super afc yet. i just set the basic info like 6in and 6 4 cylinders etc.. could you guess let me know what i should have set and what should not be? its just crazy how my egt is high but i did not do any tuning ? i also have stock injectors right now so im not sure why it gets so hot? thanks Michael 99gs- hrc stage 2

That doesn't seem that high to me... That's about what mine does, and when I step on it for awhile it peaks around 1540 er so. Can someone who has fine tuned their car please post their exact egt's at WOT. There arent too many places here in Michigan with dynos (none), so any accurate info out there would be greatly appreciated.

don't lean too much that will cause det. inside the engine and that is not good. Did you get busted for street racing and just a speeding ticket?
