I'd say crank the s*it out of the fuel screw till you begin to see some smoke.. No smoke means basically your EGT's probably aren't even worth caring about. You need to be rolling coal to get high EGT's This is very interesting.

My Giles pump has virtually no smoke, but I have had it up to 1450F....Get a GAUGE
I will rephrase. In my diesel travels over the last 3 years, I have not once seen anyone claim extraordinarily high egt's without smoke. How often are you making so much heat that it doesn't show by unburnt fuel?Kev, maybe your engine seized for different reasons? If you didn't have a guage or smoke how do you know it was EGT related? There would be no evidence of high temps without the guage or smoke. At this point am I safe to assume that you still are not running an intercooler Lucas? Maybe your high egts and no smoke are because the bottleneck of your engine is prior to the fuel being injected? Hot air being compressed in to hotter air?I dunno, sorry for spreading nullified info, I was under the impression smoke meant high temps.
I dunno man, I don't see how you have high egt's without smoke. Lucas yours is completely different, you have a pump tuned for maximum power with as little loss as possible (smoke) on top of a free intake, and 3" exhaust. Kev I do believe you were running an n/a pump, on a diesel with stock exhaust? or was this the open DP? I dunno what happened to your engine, without an EGT reading.. or smoke to even guess high egt.. We cannot say it was EGT related lol.
This is all weird... I can see 600Degs C (1100 F?) with an AAZ, all standard, with a bit of extra fuel, 8-9psi, with no smoke??
enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
