Pyrometer Gauge?

[ryanralston07]

I was looking at some additional gauges and was wondering what a pyrometer gauge is? Tried a search and couldn't find anything and never heard of it before...I've already got a wideband A/F, oil pressure, boost/vacuum FYI

Pyrometer=Exhaust Temperature Gauge. They are widely used in the diesel world. In the Mustang world not so much. Not to say that monitoring EGT's is a bad idea for a gas motor it just isn't done much for the average street car or even avid racer. If you are looking for more gauges I would suggest water temp and or fuel pressure.

It is a exhaust gas temp gauge or EGT gauge, which will help you tell if the car is running lean or rich also. I run them on my snowmobiles and quads for tuning them.

Yeah I'm looking at trans temp, fuel pressure, and water temp.

Get an aeroforce gauge, or some other similar scan gauge. Then you'll access to dozens of parameters.
