Egt ranges

What is the norm or best location, distance for egt bungs. Does it matter if its headers versus zoomies. I am going to build a set of ss headers with 5" or 6" exhaust.what range of egts do you guys look for .

egt range

I already have the ss tubing and egt bungs to weld in planning on fabricating step headers when the car comes back from paint.
I just want to put egt bungs at the proper distance from the valves to be able to use typical egt ranges everyone else uses. This may be useful in the future. As we all know egt range vary with distance...
Thanks dave

egts

i was told any where from 2 to 4 inches from the header flange.

 

egt probes

lonnie told me 1.5" from head flange location.
What is everyone using as the normal distance so our discussions on egt temps are consistant
Thanks guys c.j.
