2nd gen or powerstroke intercooler

Is there any know difference (besides physical dimensions) between a 97 Dodge intercooler and a 99 power stroke intercooler, as far as flow and efficientcy. Is one just obviously the better flowing, I can't see it.

I've noticed on the 2nd gen intercoolers, they have 3" inlets, but then they get squooshed it looks like to get them to fit in the dodge trucks. I think the Powerstroke intercoolers flow better, at least thats what it looks like to me. The Powerstroke intercoolers fit pretty well considering, just follow the writeup in the sticky.

What years of Powerstrokes are people using for the intercooler upgrade?
