TST #10 plate, 215 hp, at high altitude?

A friend of mine with a '97 215 hp 5 spd 2500 4x4, club cab long box w/3.54's is interested in installing a TST cam plate. He's looking at the #11 and #10 plates. The truck is basically stock, and has 255/85R16s, and pyro and boost gauge. The question is, what will need to be done with this truck to keep EGTs in check? Will a 4" exhaust and (possibly) an aftermarket air filter be enough? The truck is used as a daily driver in Denver, and will be used to ocasionally tow a 7000 lb. trailer.

Also, how big of a concern is the clutch? He plans on adding other performance items at a later date, but would rather do so over time as funds become available.

Thanks,

Pete
