I use the EGTs to balance intake manifolds... try to get all the EGTs the same or close with grinding on the runners in the manifold... most of the headers I build I put bungs in them at exactly 1" from the flange... you can see them here

Agree with MOnte on a gas motor the EGT means pretty much nothing other than the hole is lit. The numbers can vary way to much due to many things, Fuel type, timing etc
Some of those black headers shown have been my experience. They tend to get chalky and don't last but maybe just whose doing it. We have gone to a new deal that is basically a piston coating on the headers. So far seems to be working very well.

Have them done here locally. We have done three sets now and all look great so far. Our dragster has the most time on it so far. A couple years worth right now. Will get a pic up here of the color. They have a few different shades, one looks a lot like stainless after its been run in for a bit.

I was asking on a good nos tune up.. what kind of temps would be expected and EGTs would be the only place to get a temp from

Definitely cool looking. I have to remember that when I want them redone.

Do you have wideband on all 8 cylinders Al?
Those look nice, I'm not a fan of bling so I like that matte look. I prefer matte black though.
Brad, They def did a nice job on screwing up though ha ha Yes we use O2's on each primary tube.

Seems all the company's I am dealing with are screwing up. Trust me I feel your pain. Seems these days the struggle is very real. Been working on mine for two years and a lot of that is waiting on parts to be made or having to tweak them when they are.
