Spearco actually makes a better intercooler. I like the thickness of the Banks, but the materials in the Spearco are better.
Being up in New York I don't think that there is an actual need for upgrading the intercooler unless you are running some powerful mods are experiencing high boost numbers that the stock intercooler can't handle(atleast it couldn't handle it on the 6.0 if you had an upgraded turbo that was almost too aggressive for the street but perfect for competition).
In other words, given location and depending on performance mods(if any) are going to be the determining factor on rather or not to get the intercooler. Location isn't an issue. Just need to know about mods.

Now these assertions are with Banks products on diesels, not on gassers that might actually be a different story, but the OP's boss as a diesel, so that would be more applicable in this case.

I like and run the Banks intercooler and intake elbow. I agree that these two items are Banks' most/best reliable diesel products. I know this is very debatable, but that's just my $0.02. The spearco is very nice. My stock 2003 Intercooler popped open a few years ago@ 35k miles (before I owned the truck) & was replaced under warranty. Now I'm the owner and @ 55k miles, after doing a lot to the engine & truck as a whole, I felt that the Banks IC/Elbow combo was a quick and easy replacement of the stock parts. The power increase was noticeable when installed.
