Egts way low

I took the afc and plate off installed 191 DV's and 370 marine injectors and with my foot in it i only get about 1000*-1100* and i know they should be higher than that. Normal crusing is about 800*. I even changed the fuel filter and the pyro is mounted before the turbo, plus it only 6 months old.... and it's the second one i put in. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS WRONG?

What boost are you getting??Do you see alot of smoke when you stump on it??I'm getting the same result with the lasercut DV,EGT about 1100.But the boost is quick and the smoke pours out...

Don't most guys run the pyro in the front 3 on a 12v? The ports on the #1 cylinder are the most restricted, so typically is the hottest cylinder.
