Pistons meltdown...

Does anybody know the stock piston meltdown point? I am doing a turbo application and I have a "Pyrometer" and for the gauge to be useful you really need to know the piston meltdown point. Thanks! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Anything above 1600F, and you'll be melting everything. Pistons don't have their own melting point, if you're tuned correctly (ie, dyno with wideband o2) you'll never get above 1500F on the EGT gauge.
