I got a question for you guys. I have noticed a major difference between my two pyros, (attitude and Issopro), and am trying to figure out which one is having the problem. When you are cruzing at 60-65, what does your pyro guages read in temp?? I have noticed a 100 degree to 150 degree difference between the two, and quite frankly have not paid a whole lot of attention to what they normally have been at cruzing speed. I am assuming that the thermocouple for the attitude must be the problem, (the temps on that guage are really slow to change). But I just thought I'd check with you guys.

Thanks in advance.

my issopro is pretty darn fast to react for me

i seem to pull pretty close to the same egts on my 6.0 as i did in the 7.3

at 75 ish it hangs 650-750 at 10-12 pounds
and as of yet i cant get the 6.0 to punch through 1300 no matter how hard i work her

My autometer pyro has always been very slow to change. I don't know how else to fix it?

My Autometer is fairly fast to show changes in EGT's. I would get a new guage and sender. It is probably the sender.

Ok, so my Attitude guage is reading 550 to 650 at cruzing, my Issopro is reading 850 to 950. So my attitude has to be correct. Any guesses as to what the problem with the Issopro guage is? I'm guessing I should change out my issopro thermocouple first???? Or is there something that could cause a 200 degree difference between sides of the engine??? :eek:

Thanks for the replies guys.

My attitude reads 850 all day long cruising down the highway. Next week i'll have my analogs in and i'll have the exact same set up as you so i'll be able to see exactly what yer talkin about. I'm gonna keep the atitude mainly for the turbo timer. That turbo timer is the greatest thing since individually wrapped

Depending on were they are getting there readings from. I just changed my autometer pyro from post turbo to pre turbo and noticed a huge difference in the way the pyro read and reacted. After I put it in the manifold I now see up to 1300 f and temps rise and lower much faster. Temps at 60 are still about the same tho which is usually around 450-500.
