CobraEd,

You are correct about lean and rich only up until the point where raw fuel makes it into the exhaust and combusts in the exhaust. At that point, the EGTs go way up and the curve is steeper than on the lean side. I've seen this many times in blown dragsters. I'd make the following statement:

Lean = Hot
Rich = Cool
Very Rich = Hot
