I personally believe its one of the most important mods you can do to make your truck run efficiently and should be done sooner than later. Since you have twins I would say now and same if you are running a larger single turbo like a 62mm and up. Its the next big purchase for my truck. These aftermarket intercoolers free up the air flow and cool the air so much better you will see a big drop in egts and also see higher boost numbers. With a stock intercooler you will see prolly a 10 psi drop in boost from hot to cold side. With BD's they guarantee only a 1psi drop from hot to cold. So you would roughly be gaining 9 psi give or take of boost and dropping your egts

So I looked up both BD, and Spearco coolers. Seems BD offers a little more information about their product for Dodge applications.

They are the stuffed tube design of the stock intercooler just like in the bd pics. The only other intercooler I would think of running if they ever come out with second gen ones would be the AFE Bladerunner intercoolers. They are still stuffed tube designed but they use fins to spread the air out better than other intercoolers. So its supposed to help cool the air off more. But I dunno if they are planning on releasing one for the 94-02 models
