don't waste money on a intercooler you wont gain much if any. I would get a 475 to put under the 62 then get some 200hp sticks and it will spool and drive great. get the 1.10 housing on the 475. I live at 3900' and had a similar setup and it worked well. you will need to o-ring the head, but you can drive it till it goes.

compound turbos is a great way to go.

might be able to make enough reduction in egt with water/methanol (like snow MPG max kit where you can set the injection to come on at 2-3psi over cruising boost to lower smoke and egt.

cam, tunnel ram intake plenum, gasket matching exhaust ports will all help as well.
