EGT #'s on throttle stop

Interesting. The probe is about 2" down the pipe on #5. I've heard that being too close to the head can create a false reading but more likely to be high than low.
The plugs look ok, the cruise is very flat at 4400 and the 60's are pretty consistent but the car is very difficult to dial in changing conditions and humidity seems to really affect this setup. I've gone 180mph in good air bracket racing but only 170-172 on the stop. Timing @ 34'. 1050 carb with 91 main jets.
Appreciate the feedback
