GL,
My 91 has the Bosch VE pump on it. It looks kind of like a distributor... if you imagine the fuel lines being spark plug wires... . you do remember what spark plug wires are don't you?
My truck is not intercooled, and I have not run into any egt problems (other than being low :-laf ), but my truck rarely hauls much and I don't tow. as far as power, I would say mine has "modest" power as my signature would indicate. :-laf
My suggestion would be to install a pyrometer and let your EGT tell you whether or not an intercooler is needed based on how you use your truck and how much fuerl you plan on pouring into the engine.
Have fun with it.
Jay
