egt out of control please help!!!!!!!!!

tonight i put my gauges in my truck and took it out for a test drive to see what kinda of boost my htb2 62/14 charger makes and to find out the pyro hit 1650 degrees in just a few sec. all i have on the truck is an edge ez and ddp 90 ho injectors am i getting to much fuel or not enough causing the heat i have a holley blue lift pump im worried that is not suppling enough fuel. and keep in mind the pryo probe is in the manifold not after the charger or is this normal and im over reacting

You're short about 10psi. Get it adjusted and see how much that helps.
So how long have you been running your set up without gauges? You are a good example to people and why they should not add a bunch of fuel without gauges - you just don't know how much you might be hurting things.

Sounds like you also need more advance timing. With the bigger injectors there is a slight advance in timing but more is needed with that much fuel you're throwing at it.
