Well you can use and tune the car with the EGT at the higher/maximum revs/point. And thats another question I have. Whats best. To change the fuel amount to get what EGT temp you want as max, or to look at the A/F and set it at the "right" level ?
I would say EGT, since you dare to have a leaner mixture and with A/F you don't know what the timing does to the EGT temp.
About the oil meter:
"you can have oil lines blow and that kinda stuff, so you want to be able to see the oil pressure drop so you can shut off the car before you do more damage."
Yes. But if something drastic like that happend the standard oil lamp will go on. Maybe to late yes. But it also hard to spoot on any meter. A warning meter whould be better.
