When you say 16 I am assuming 1600F. I would check to see that no vacuum hoses came loose, especially the hose that hooks onto the stock FPR. Usually if your EGT's rise that high it is because you are seeing a lot of knock.

manifold

The FPR is on the end of the fuel rail. There should be a vacuum hose that goes off of it and to a solenoid on the firewall.
