Laser cuts

I did delivery valves today. All I can say is WOW.

What effect does it have on you EGT's?

Can you still keep them under control for say towing?

Not sure buddy. With 370's, my egt's climb
off the scale in no time. They do come up
fast when ya first get on it. There's a LOT
of bottom end smoke. If you squeeze it to
the floor, instead of standing on it hard
all at once, they can be managed though.
Also, I don't tow with mine so nothing I've
ever done was to decrease egt's. If I towed
I wouldn't be running a 0 plate or 370's.
Speaking of 370's, I'm going to pull them out
for winter, once I find a set of used stockers.
There's so much soot I think my exhaust
has shrunk down to a 3" diameter now.

On mine i had 370's, Laser cut dv's, #8 plate in the middle afc forward, hx40 at 30psi, and with the smoke screw all the way tight rearward it would still see 1600 degree egt's going up hill pulling if you keep you speed the same. Going 75 it stays about 1200 degrees but if you dont have as much plate or adjust it right or have more boost im sure you would be alright with them. I just was running my top turbo because my bottom turbo seal went out and i had to haul a load.

For me, I don't know that more boost would help.
I'm up in the very high 40's already,,, in valet.
Travis, you should be OK with them, your 100's of
degrees cooler than me. I think we'd figured 300 less
or something, didn't we? Can't remember for sure.

p.s. goosesgarage, welcome to OB.

Ok there you go... getting me to actually start thinking about turning the power up some more... I bet my clutch would love me for that one... Heck it can barely hold what it has now, if I romp on it on dry pavement I can feel it start to walk over it and the clutch is in good shape...

Yeah thanks B-u-d-d-y...
