    Yes. Basically any thermocouple with the K calibration. Just be sure to order the K calibration. You just have to get one where you can easily mount it or find some sort of mounting solution.

    I have a couple.

    I have been wondering about using them for trans temp and rear end temp just for fun.

    Also, MUST be NON-grounded K-type. A grounded type will not work with EFILive. I have one on my 4.8 just for grins

    True that. The problem is finding this style thermocouple for which application (mounting style). I have to wonder what is the best way for exhaust temp measurement. The band clamp thermos? How far from the port?

    Sorry for bringing up an old post, but i figure it is most appropriate here. What is a good target EGT to shoot for when tunning a boosted vehicle. I just installed a TC and have seen 1595*f at 9psi. Don't know yet at 10psi or 15psi. Before anybody tells me different, I have dialed in my VE table with a Wideband o2 sensor. What I want to do next is see at what commanded AFR my EGT will be lowest, but need to now what is the safest max EGT I should keep away from. Thanks all.
