You're killing me here Rusty!  Much cheaper to cool the EGTs by going lean.  Unless you turbo, I don't think it is even possible to hurt a rotary by going too lean (unless the fire goes out and you hit the ground : )

Hi Bob,
 
I'm afraid I haven't paid much attention to EGT's, except to turn up the mixture when the EM-2 flashes at 1800 degrees.  For max power, adjust the mixture until the RPM peaks :-)   
 
Seriously, I don't tune or adjust mixture based on EGT.  I can't wait to test out my FJO wideband O2 meter in the real world though.
