As someone who has tweaked a diesel to within a few degrees of piston meltage, I can say it would have been more enjoyable if I didn't have to watch the EGT.
I untweaked said engine, 'cause I was sick-and-tired of having to watch the EGT every time there was a grade of more than 0.7%...or a 7 MPH headwind.
However, for the Cummins ISB, and others I think, the VMSpc has been available for years, and plugs directly in to the engine computer, so you can read throttle opening, fuel rate, fuel consumed accurate to the tenth of a gallon, etc.
Hell, I have five freakin' trip odometers set up on mine.
The TST Powermax3 computer-tricker will dump amazing amounts of fuel and allow stoopid boost on the ISB.

As stupid as that (or stacks in the bed) look, I'm pretty sure in a tuned diesel the massive straight pipes are a performance gain. Some of those Cummins are fast enough this is the only view some would see.
Either way, that guy would want to know his EGT's I bet. #bankspower
