if you read that whole tag the horsepower info came off of you will see that the non-ic engines specify (irrc ic is 72 an non is 76) 4 cubic mm more fuel per shot than ic engines

so to me that sort of proves the ic adds horsepower or they wouldnt have had to cut the fuel back to maintain the same horsepower

the non-i/c trucks do have bigger injectors from the factory which will support 300hp most say. So upgrading to an injector like PODs in a non-i/c is pretty much useless. Hope i added something to this discussion 
and i will be intercooling mine, and water injection, just for added reliability and keep heat down and power up

Interesting, but why is a non-intercooled 1989 Cummins engine rated at the same horsepower as an intercooled 1993 Cummins engine is?
Both are rated at 160hp @ 2500rpms.
I am under the impression that the intercooler DOES NOT add horsepower, but helps lower EGTs, and was added in '91-1/2 for emissions reasons, not for power gain.

just tuned a little different from the factory, otherwise the same pump.
just to throw it out there if you flip your intake cove end for end, then you wont have your intercooler tube against the master cylinder, thats what i did, had to fab up a bit more brackets to hold the injector lines in place.
but, nice write up, better then i could have ever done
