Default RE: EGT question

Being a homebuilt engine, I've worked through the glowing in the daylight stages. Now it's just glowing at night...I've actually been running it with the temp sensor in the nozzle about 1/4 inch. The wheel started life as a flat piece of inconel, I turned the profile, slotted, and bent the vanes. This works good, but leaves some fin at the root that is not curved at all. I figure if it runs good with a not so good wheel, it ought to run good with a cast wheel. I just need to make a new shaft since the cast wheel is about twice the thickness of the old one. Hopefully get that done soon. Gonna try and get the tach fit tonight to get some rpm readings. Thanks for the help
