What exhaust gas temps EGT do you see at the track?

Hi folks, what exhaust gas temps EGT do you see at the track? I think for normal daily driving, I notice it peak around 1400F. I will have to check tomorrow after a long drive. But on track, what do you guys see? What's NOT acceptable? Doing some searching on the internet says 1200F-1300F is acceptable. What is it for our cars?

Hmmm...per my COBB accessport this evening where the outside temp is 40F, the EGT Manifold reads at roughly 1100F at idle, 1250-1350F cruising on the highway and 1750F peak at WOT. So it the COBB inaccurate?

I have seen mine go up to 1800d running a ko4. When I push it real hard up to 150mph it will die when I get off throttle. I usually just coast for a bit then pop the clutch and drive on. I am on a POLARIS FIS which uses an algorithm to calculate egt. Not sure how accurate it is tho. I think the COBB does the same thing?
I have also seen my oil temp up to 247 and again my car doesn't have this sensor

Lol, my EGT's typically were 2500F+ after a track session. I gotta give that little HPA turbo credit, it took it without complaint.
