Default 6.5 intercooler

Is anyone running an intercooler on their 6.5's? I Wonder what kind of temp drops I would see if I made one for mine.

I have heard of people running them on 6.5s but I don't know what kind of gains they get. The problem with a intercooler on these trucks is there is not much room on the front of them. Most people seam to go for water injection instead.
