I'm about to re-coat my exhaust and do a little bit of welding work so I figured why not weld on a few EGT 1/8" npt bungs while i'm at it. Does anyone know what the ideal position is for an EGT sensor is? Also which sensor is recommended?

I'm with Mark.

I saw a high of 1350 at peak torque for short durations floored going up hill.
(Less than 5 seconds at that temp)
When the engine pulls past peak torque. The temp goes down fast.

Normal driving. 850 - 1200+ going up hill.

Hi EGTs at cruise throttle openings on a flat freeway don't mean much to me. High (percieved) EGTs at cruise won't hurt the engine.
The temps of when the engine is trying to achieve max torque and HP has great meaning to me. (I.E. WOT)

On carbs. 2.5 litre Type IV with 9.5 - 1 static CR and a High RPM cam. Revs to 8K+ no probs.

I also had 1/8 holes in the 90 degree bend below the head as per McMark.

I think Chris-N-Prider now has those headers on his car. Still has the 1/8 holes for the quad EGT probes I think.

Thats my experience. Yours may well be different.
