I know you have to look at all of them, I haven't quite got that type of 'technique' down yet. Dunno man, too much gauges can make your head spin. Anyway, IMO, I always look at my EGT.

I also seem to keep an eye on my egt more than anything. I figure that if something else goes wrong, there is a good chance that it'll affect my egt's in a bad way. The though of my pisttons melting and fusing with the cylinder walls is not a good one. justin

EGT. I'm paranoid about it. Always back off of throttle at 1500*. SUcks to have this handicap. I remember the CAI days where we can wail on the motor for long periods of times..

I usually alternate between EGT and fuel pressure.. it's fun to watch the correlation between the two while under boost.

A/F, unfortunately that's what caused the big bang. I was more worried about the a/f mixture than I was about the exhuast gas temperature.
