I see about 650 - 700 C while cruising around (around 1200 - 1300 F). Mike W. set the alarm on my gauge at 850 C ( about 1590 F), and I have never seen temps that high, even at auto-x.
Probe is in the cyl #1 header pipe about 4 inches from the outlet. I don't think my temps ever got much above 1500, but they were certainly parked there at partial throttle, 5th gear, on the freeway (at about 55 to 60 mph). I'll check the peak readout next time I'm in the car.
