a little spendy but it comes with everything i'd need, i dont know if i like that triple from SLP doesn't seem like its accurate down to a certain degree, goes in 500deg increments.
Yeah, the Stingers are the fast response probes. I also have a Digitron unit (three EGT and one RPM display) and notice the fancy flamed one in the link only has three displays, but lists - EGT,EGT,EGT,RPM. Make sure you are ordering the unit with four displays. Also, depending on the sled you're installing it on (SRX), the tach wiring will be different than let's say a Polaris or Cat so make sure you tell them what you're installing it on. It should make a difference (12v DC vs. 12v AC).
My buddy installed his on his Doo into the handle bar pad. Looks cool but watch for chaffing issues with the always moving handle bars.
I installed mine on the dash panel in front of the tach. It isn't in the best spot for seeing all three EGTs at 90 mph but the rpm display is all I'm looking at then. I mainly installed it there because it is lower than the gauge pod so in the event of a roll-over, I'm not looking for the ripped out Digitron in the snow. Plus setting the max. temp. alarm will cause the EGT displays to flash when the max is reached which will catch your eye. I think I have mine set around 1300 which is near the limit you'd want combustion temps to reach, but wash and plug color seem to warrant this high of alarm.
When I had them on my XCR, the alarm was set much lower (around 1260 based on wash and plug) which has mostly to due with the location of the probe.
Most install instructions say 6"-8" from the piston skirt. Just do a good plug/wash reading after a good WOT run and play back the temp max than set the alarm to that number or 20-30 degrees cooler as a buffer.
Remember, no probe will act fast enough to avoid a burn down so don't get too reliant on them.
To be honest, if I hadn't had them from my XCR, I wouldn't have spent the money on the EGTs. I would have spent less and just got a good playback tach.
