Don't ever try to "target " an EGT as being your "Best". Too many Variables to make EGT what you tune by. BTY I've seen some real cold EGT's melt pistons. Heat in the chamber, not in the ex is what happened!! I have changed the Ex lash and lost power and got higher EGT's. I've added timing and cooled EGT's and lost power...Use EGT as a reference when you tune.
