Default Egts are killin me

So with everything in my signature my egts are sky high. I cruise on the freeway at 60 and I run between 900-1000 degrees on the pyro. And when driving I drive by pyro and its easy to hit 1200 just with the edge on level 1 it gets even worse if I turn the edge up. What do you think the problem is guys?? I can't figure it out I tihnk with everything I would run cooler then that I'm stumped. Can somebody help me out? I havnt tried the water/meth yet. Do I need bigger injectors? Or maybe a better injector?

who's injectors are you running? edge does run hot but adds a TON more power than that smarty could ever dream of..

try running the edge up some and see if your just not pushing enough fuel to spin up that 64.. that could be another reason its running so hot

I'm running the worst injector they are edge jammer nozzles. If I turn the edge up the egts just get worse I can't figure how to cool them down

Intercooler would help, I know you have a manifold, water meth would help, smarty helped cool my truck down, Or a better set of injectors would definitely help out the cause as well.

sounds to me like you have a boost leak check how much boost ur putting out during all of this mine did the same thing with my edge and i h ad a boost leak under the intake horn plate because i didnt put the two screws back where the stock fuel filter sits when i put the new airdog on ughhh anyway fixed now runs great i only hit 1300 on level six if im really on it so u got a problem somewhere else
