That converts to 1850 F... When I was pushing mine at the track I had my P3 guage set to egt so I could make sure I'm not gonna melt anything... I hit 1600 a couple times and backed off, from what someone told me somewhere in these forums 1600F and up things start being in danger like seals and such so don't maintain high temps like that for long. It wasn't easy to get it to that temp though, maybe if it was a bigger track I could have sustained higher temps but no signs of going anywhere near 1850...
