Of course they could.  Not to mention pressure drop along every inch of the
induction passage, body temperature of all properly seated passengers
(better get permission for that one <g>) and a bunch of other stuff.   The
deal is that if you can turn it into an electrical signal you can monitor
it.  With the silicon sensors available today you might even be able to
have instantaneous cylinder pressure.  All it takes is bucks and time.  I
bet if you scrounged a video instrument setup out of a G-5 you'd have
everything you wanted, including TITs (sorry, airplane joke which is
dangerous since I'm not really an airplane guy).
