Default Intercooler Size!!! HELP

Im looking to make 325hp pump gas and 440 race fuel.

Engine...
gsr
mahle 9.1
Eagle I beam
block guard
victor x
rc 750cc
Drag turbo kit with a good manifold.
2.5 inch intercooler piping


I have the intercooler from the kit right now but a friend who has some huge ebay intercooler on his car wants to trade me. He said his car isnt making much power on it because it is to big. His car is a d series. He says hes only making 325whp with a t3/t4 57 trim on 16lbs due to to large of an intercooler.

Do I need to trade or will my intercooler do what I need?

Your drag intercooler will be pushed quite a bit on race fuel for the 440whp you're looking for. It will still work, but it would be a better idea to slightly upgrade.

And no, you don't need to increase Intercooler piping size to do it. 2.5" is more than enough.
