EGT was a factory option in 1983, I have it, I could look at the original invoice, I think it was about $107.
It is connected on the re power as well.
Definitely useful, the 8.3 will make some heat pulling up hills at ~1750 rpm.
Cools off 150+ degrees when it drops a gear.
I like to make sure it's down to 300 degrees or less when I shut it down as well. It takes much longer than you would think after several hundred miles of driving.
With all the electronics on the new models I'm surprised it isn't monitored.
