If you really want to do something with all the heat going out the exhaust on a typical vehicle get a diesel and put a turbocharger or 2 on it.
Before I turboed I saw EGTs in the 1000'F to 1100'F all the time, now they rarely go above 800'F and normally stay between 400'F and 600'F.
These are all preturbine temperatures too.
