Egts way low

I took the afc and plate off installed 191 DV's and 370 marine injectors and with my foot in it i only get about 1000*-1100* and i know they should be higher than that. Normal crusing is about 800*. I even changed the fuel filter and the pyro is mounted before the turbo, plus it only 6 months old.... and it's the second one i put in. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS WRONG?

Don't most guys run the pyro in the front 3 on a 12v? The ports on the #1 cylinder are the most restricted, so typically is the hottest cylinder.
