Header tube temps?
I spent the day tuning the 600 holley. Got the carb dialed in. For the hell of it, I checked the header tubes with a fluke ir thermometer. After a short 15 min cruise I read 580 to 600 on all tubes but no. 2 which is 480. Is this a big deal? should I look for possible cause?
It is a fresh (500 miles) mild 400 8.9 comp, rpm intake and a summit 2801 cam. Still crossing my fingers on the flat tappet cam. |

Only custom sheet metal intakes have perfect fuel distribution.
I would not be the least bit concerned, the concern should be at full throttle that no cylinder checks out at 1350 and no more the 1400 max.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
