I'm working on a vehicle running on vapor and would like go to go one step farther by cracking the vapor What temperature do I have to get the vapor to to crack it?

Seems like you would like to break the fuel molecule apart into smaller molecules, but without yet combusting or burning the fuel?  This may take temperatures between very roughly 600-1200dC, and depends on fuel composition, pressure, and whether any catalysts are present to say help the cracking occur at a lower temperature.  This process may be prone to fouling with solid coke due to the high temperature.
