6.0 Intercooler

I know this is a popular mod for those who tow heavy loads often, but I don't(at least not yet). Would I have anything to gain from installing a 6.0 intercooler?

I found one for a good price locally and I am going to purchase it. How involved is the install? It comes with the boots and tubes as well.

You need longer boots for both sides, and the driver's side (hot side) is a smaller inlet than the stock 7.3L intercooler. So you'll also need a new hose clamp that fits.

Also, you might have some trouble with the stock tranny cooler lines getting in the way of the new intercooler. I managed to get mine to fit, but barely.
