It's not how hot you get...it's how long you stay hot!
CTD's have been hitting 1500 - 1800+* in a 1/4 mile for many years and driving home afterwards

1500-1800 here for a long time on numerous 1/4 mile runs and I have over 200,000 on the engine. Of course it doesn't get there until it's in high gear and marching on the big end. So it's probably seeing 1500+ for 3 seconds or less on a pass.
