My uncle is a heavy duty mechanic, works on big ol' motors... he had a CAT 16 cylinder that displaced 212 L or something rediculous, twin turbos the size of Geos, anyways, it had a montoring/engine management system with EGT probes in each cylinder, that's what we need...

I know you can do it with a race pack or a standalone... or 4 EGT guages  :roll:

Too bad you can't do it cheap...
