Default RE: Official 9.5 Violator Thread

Hi I am new to this forum. I have a 9.5 violator w/ force 32. I am having trouble getting it tuned. First thing I need to know is where do you take the engine temperature if using an infrared temp gun. Because I get many readings, ranging from 195 on top of heat sink to 260 on the polished sides around the top of the glow plug. Second I can get plenty of blue smoke, but when I get good throttle response, by leaning out the low needle, the temp goes up to nearly 300 ( again at the polished part around the plug). When things are rich on both the low and the high to keep temp down, it dies after idling for any amount of time. If someone could give me some advice it would be much appreciated.
