you diesel wizard's please help me understand how this is possible.

Your stock filter is fine. A filter like K&N that uses a coat of oil to maintain the filter ends up putting a light coat of oil in your intercooler. I had the fine enjoyment of watching a Dodge intercooler being replaced because of the long term use of a K&N filter.
So did you think I was pulling your leg?

A better intake is one that draws in cooler air. CFM is a factor. A 6.0L is fine stock. Zoodad did a mod to the front cross support that removed any blocked air.
A larger exhaust with mandrel bends is what you want to remove high EGT"s
