thats good to know, i know people have made as much as 400whp on the 8 inch, i have the 6 inch from my old setup and when i put this one together i never replaced it, it's got a street tune on it now, and it runs pretty good but i think thats probably my biggest limiting factor in my setup right now, i wanna get about 400 to the wheels when i get it dyno tuned and didnt want to get there and have this be whats holding me back.

any more info is appreciated!

I have the 6'' JRC intercooler, and have been making 346whp with no issues. I do plan on upgrading it to the 8'' though.

I purchased the 8'' from a friend a while ago. Never had the time to put it on.

oh.. if i had the 8 inch i wouldnt worry too much about getting 400whp out of it efficiently, i'm just afraid that i'm going to be past the limits of the intercooler and waste a trip to the dyno and the $... but if it wont be a problem to keep it i'll be able to save myself roughly $380 on the intercooler.
