I put a probe in the cross-over, in the old Co2 test port, with Laust's kit. I never see more than 950 or so on my Zeitronix display? I run it on the rich side, and use 100 octane, and run Vitesse's chip board on street gas settings, and have a three inch SFR pipe. For those reporting higher numbers - are you reading at the header?

If the probe is bad, you’ll get a new one.
What do other Zeitronix owners with my EGT kit installed see?

And the location of the EGT was discussed as the test port on the x-over pipe, since I will be using your EGT kit. He also prefers using the test port vs installing in the individual headers.
I believe his intent/recommendation was to run pretty rich, at the expense of a few hp.

There is a serious cost of running too rich, namely cylinder wash-down (oil is a far better lubricant than gasoline) with increased cylinder wear as a result. I’ll somewhat randomly say that anything less than an AFR of 11.0 is too rich.
