Second Pyro, Pre or Post?

Title says it all. I am selling the Crazy Larry and getting the Juice/Attitude installed. Reason being i like the features and the adjustability of the juice. i will however miss all the bullydog smoke but im sure i can figure out some smoke with the juice.

Down to the topic. i will now have my autometer pre turbo probe and i can choose where i want the juice probe. I was planning on having the juice post turbo just to see the difference but is it worthwhile enough to get it pre turbo for two readings? Either location is no trouble at all i was just hoping you guys have suggestions

Truck is going in friday morning for install. Our new 06 mega cab is also going in for juice/attitude combo but it will for sure be pre turbo.

I run both my Autometer pyro and TST pyro pre-turbo. I had the Hot Juice before the TST and just replaced the TST pyro sensor where the HOT Juice pyro sensor was.

To take advantage of the EGT defueling of the Juice/Attitude it makes more sense for that pyro sensor to be pre-turbo to get quicker more accurate EGT readings. If you want one post-turbo I would move the Autometer pyro sensor and use the pre-turbo tap for the Juice/Attitude.

I like having both pre-turbo. Just a validation of both pyros functioning properly. If you need or want to remove the Juict/Attitude then you still have pre-turbo EGT readings. Just my experience and .02.

Here is some information I received in a PM from a guy who is running both pre and post turbo EGT gauges.

Typical unloaded highway driving is about 300-400 degrees difference, towing I have seen as much as 500 degrees. The highest I have ever seen on the Pre-Turbo is about 1200 towing in the mountains during the summer with the A/C going. I hope this helps or at least answers your questions.
