I would recommend going with the 600HP aswell cause you want to have room to grow without having to buy another intercooler down the road.

I don't care waht anyone else says, a bigger intercooler (generally rated for more HP) will cause more lag.

Not much more, maybe not noticably more, but it will be there.

But you may as well get a bigger core because you never know when you'll want the extra cooling -- be it when you go for more power, or when you're hauling *** up a mountain pass in 100 degree weather.
