finn,

                     I put 2 EGT's in the standard position of 4 inches 
from the port, and really there was no difference except that I kept 
burning both off.  Their usefulness, and one will do, is to regulate 
high temps with either revs (lower) or a richer mix to lower the high 
EGT. 1800 degrees F is quite warm and will test the exhaust system.  The 
probe just lets you know if you are wasting your time or actually 
achieving something.  Once set up they are just another thing to worry 
about in my case, so currently running without.

Neil
