I would have thought the header temps would be higher than 1100 near the exhaust port. Back in my racing days we ran Exhaust Gas Temp probes 2 inches down the pipe and routinely saw temps in the 1300 range when the engine was making some power with a slightly richer that stoich mixture.
My plane's air cooled engine has EGT probes on each cylinder, also 2 inches down the pipe, and I see temps in the 1300 range even at moderate to low power settings. The only time I see them dip below 1000 is when they show around 900+ at idle.
