Something is wrong here cause your EGT's should be higher than that with just the Edge. You need to check the settings on your Attitude Monitor because it sounds like its defueling bad or you have a bad injection pump.

I could hit 1200 EGT's with my Edge on level 5 before any of my other upgrades. Now I can hit 1800 with my foot mashed right into it. I also run low-mid 15's, according to my Juice w/Attitude. I only have 65 HP nozzles, so you should be running way hotter, faster, and be trailing more smoke. How much smoke do you trail? I leave a haze with everything set to the max and 36 PSI boost.

your wire tap may not be working. I know that with rv injectors on mine it would hit 1100 pretty easy.

My tap on my pump failed and i couldn't even get smoke on stage 10 mashing on it from a stand still!!
If your lacking on fuel pressure running low settings then you NEED to get a lift pump asap.
