Aluminum melts at 1,221 degrees F. In my humble opinion, I would keep it below 1200 degrees for sure. I personally consider 1000 degrees to be the limit for extended operation. That gives me a couple of hundred degrees of safety margin. Here's why you don't want to run it too close to the 1200...

I agree with Gimpy on putting the pyro on the steering column. The temps move quickly when you're pulling hard and you need to be able to monitor the EGT within your normal field of view.
