none unless you are planning on working boost or nitrous. It would cool the fuel to both cool the combustion chamber and help prevent pinging or detonation.
We had a thread on this a while ago where we were trying to figure on how to do it best. The actual cooler you can buy are expensive. I want to boost either the cherokee or MJ eventually. I think one of the easiest ways to work it out would be to just take a sealed box and run a coil of tube through the middle. Then you could set chunks of dry ice in and fill the rest of the space with salt water.

Take a coffee can and wrap copper tubing in a big spiral inside the can. Epoxy the tubing to the round wall on the inside. Fill with dry ice. We made cans like this but all aluminum for a defense application. Don't really know what the hell they used it for, but it would have been perfect for drag racers.

depends. Assuming that when you do it you take care of the extras needed to get the system running correctly, a fuel cooler can be a great thing for not much at all. You just do not need one until you are running the higher PSI.
