Just because I designed and built my air/fuel system appropriatly and use the right Smarty settings so that I dont have high EGT's somehow I did something wrong??

I dont see your logic or methood.

I never said you don't push it hard ENOUGH. However far YOU choose to push it is hard ENOUGH. I just don't see how your EGT's don't get above 1200 unless you don't go WOT or you have never towed a decent amount of weight. It really is nothing to get upset about.

What do you see with your Jr?

That sounds to me like your either on TM3 or TM1 with Jr Revo, or your pyro isn't working properly... When my dad tows 10K from Washington to Montana and back down into Idaho (Lots of Rocky Mountain Passes) he doesn't even get up to 1350*.

No problem.. If you were running 3 or 1 you will be surprised at the drop with 2 or 4 (4 is the biggest drop, but the smokiest)
