Personally, I wouldn't bother with a pyrometer. Once you start getting above 300 degrees or so the increases and losses are instantaneous. I don't see how you will be able to even get an idea of how the cooling kit is working with a pyrometer. However, paint stripes on the rotor and caliper temperature stickers can give you an indication. My only concern would be if you ran it closed first, then open second. If you seal off the air flow prior to the cooling test, it won't really give you an accurate reading because the higher temperature reading would have already been taken meaning the paint and stickers have already "cooked."

To perform this test, you would have to run the cooling kit first, then record your results, then run again with the cooling kit blocked off.

If you're pointing a temp gun anywhere in your wheel wells, direct it at your tires.
