2009 M8 EGT ? and Oil ?

2009 M8 EGT question

I have a 2009 M8 with am Speedwerx single, jaws can and stock y-pipe. What should the EGT be? 1100? 1200? I have searched google and here.
Also do I need a control box? such as Attitude's box?

Figured out the oil question.

exhaust temp anyone?

The exhaust temperature you see will scare you. I have seen close to 1400 degrees several times. I knew I was looking at going back to the truck on the end of a rope but, it never happened.

Mid 1300 in the mid range seem to be the norm. Yet, the cylinders and head looks just fine. I don't get it since aluminum melts at 1410 degrees (if I remember correctly).

Don't keep a fixed throttle position going down a trail in the mid range. That's where most of the problems occur, right before the power valves open.

So it seems, the 1250 degrees we have been taught to believe should be our maximum temps completely out the window with these sleds. Yet, they seem to live on just fine (most of the time).

yea i actually was just on the phone with a few people after my sled ran a 1300 in the mids and was told about the same. It kinda scared me at first but it was also kind of warm so I think i'll still need a control box.

also does anyone know how many ignition pulses the '09 m8s run? I have mine set at 6 and it seems to be close.
