Default 1800 EGT:s...

My egt's are out of control, I was at the track on Friday and when i looked over i was almost hitting 1800 i immediatly backed out of it that is the first time since the injector install that i stayed in it that long it was just for a split second. I detuned it and have been taking it easy, i feel like an *** for running it that hot. What is the most cost effective way to lower them? I know that I need a turbo and that would most likely solve all of my problems but i just installed the injectors and money is tight(uncle sam doesn't pay too well! ha). I need to stay under 1000 for sure I am trying to find something that will save a couple hundred degrees. Is water meth my only option at this price range or should i just take it easy for a month or two and save up the money for the turbo?

With the TNT your asking for trouble! You may want to run the Revo till you get a turbo,CP-3,Head studs and water/meth injection. 1800 even 2000 isn't going to hurt anything in short runs.

Thanks a lot I appreciate the input. I just didn't know if was doing extreme harm to any of my engines components. I am not going to let it get that hot again. I definitly will try to keep my right foot from pushing that pedal down so hard!
