I sent my EC2 back to Tracy for an update, it was having ignitions issues a=
bove 6000 rpms. Now happy to report that it runs great. I have the gen 3 cr=
ank angle sensors and trigger wheel, which needed some sort of software twe=
ak to have it run correctly. Thanks Tracy. It was easy to tuneand runs smoo=
thly throughout the RPM range. I do have an issue with the EGTs- my EM2 sho=
ws both egts running above 1700 up to 2000 F- way too hot, too hot for me t=
o beleive the readout is accurate. This was occurring before I sent the uni=
t back for the upgrade. My timing is set correctly, and I tried advancing i=
t 4 degrees to see if there was any change in EGTs. No joy. I'll be running=
 anywhere over 4000 rpm and the egts are above 1600 and will go higher with=
 more throttle. I've tired to lean out the mixture, and the engine will los=
e power way before the EGTs start to drop. Typical coolant and oil temps to=
day at 30f , 4000 feet, 5000 rpm, (mp I did not note, dammit) were both aro=
und 150 degrees- nice and cool, too much so in fact.=20

So, how do I test the accuracy of my EGT's? If the are accurate,  I fear my=
 apex seals are gonna die soon.=20
