air to air intercooler, no intercooler, air to water intercooler

I am building a truck for pulling. I took a 2001.5 truck and put a big p-pump on it and a large single charger with other parts. I was wondering what should i do with my intercooler. Should i run the stock on until it goes or put a HD intercooler on it from PDR or some other company, or run no intercooler plumb the turbo directly into the intake manifold or put a air to water intercooler on it. I have found on that is rated for 120 psi.... If i could get some ideas on what to do that would be great......I will not be driving this truck on the road anymore......
