gauges next. drill and tap the rear EGR cooler plate for pyro probe install.

here is what you need in the garage. insurance agent buddy of mine built this

 

now that is cool, but heck with the garage...that would be nice in the kitchen....

 

Look to spend $400-500 in gauges, mount(s), and misc. parts.

Chris wouldn't it be best to drill and tap the manifold for more accurate temps? I am thinking about doing this instead of my current EGT Probe location near cyl 6

 

it will be ok to do the egr plate. good thing doing the plate is that if you ever had to return the truck to stock there are no drilled holes. plus #6 is the hottest cylinder so you will be getting temps from the hottest cylinder

 

ya but momma would be throwing the frying pan at you if she got nailed by a flying crushed beer can! LOL
