Well, some of us like to turn the screw a bit, so we gauge them up a bit.... the pyro being one. I have a pyro installed in the pipe after the turbo on one tractor. The only real thing I use it for is to watch the temp on a hard pull. When it starts to sustain a high temperature, then it's time to back off. I don't worry too much about short peaks, but long hard pulls with sustained high temperatures. For what it's worth, I've seen temperatures of 1150 F, in the pipe, after the turbo.
It's also interesting to watch the pyro at times as you learn a lot from it... Especially on cooldown and things like that. It's handy for all it costs.
