Re: EGTs - high from running really rich???

When you have fuel-rich exhaust, the extra fuel has to be burnt in the catalytic converter, creating LOTS of heat. I've seen many cars burn to the ground b/c of this. If your seeing abnormally high EGT's, you may have an injector hanging open or leaking, or possibly a faulty EGR system, just to name a few.
