You can't, because you really don't know how hot it is, or how hot 
it should be. If this is a FI engine and you have been adjusting the 
pressure sensor, then you may be to the point where getting 
someone to put an emissions tester on the exhaust would be 
appropriate. The big problem with that is that the emissions are 
affected by many things, like the condition of the rings, so you 
really can't tell when the PS is adjusted right unless you KNOW 
that everything else is right.  

I'm going to have to think about a way to set up a test where I can 
compare a tampered PS with a "virgin" one and match them. This 
is just getting to be too big a problem.
