When we up the fuel in these we keep it under 550 C under a long pull at high load. Standard they are about 400 C.
Hope that answers it for ya

Depends where the pyro is, before or after the turbo and how close if after the turbo and the application. Personally I query my customers in regards to their application, I'll run a comp car hotter (more fuel) than a tow car that does long periods of high load, or if there is an in cab pyro and an educated driver you can run richer (hotter) provide the driver knows when to back off.

pyro is going to be before the turbo. application is a fun car. A bit of comps and weekends away.

Before the turbo aim for around 750 to 800 max, after the turbo about 500-550 deg c, wouldnt suggest maintaining any temp over 900 before the turbo for any time as engine likey to go bang.
