What temperature range is best? 500 degree F range. My guess was going to be 800F - 1300F on the EGTs, and 0-500F on the air in.

What do you think?
My Isspro pyrometer has a range from 100 - 1500 F. For air in, post compressor, I'd think no more than 300 F, more than that and an intercooler would be really useful.
