Default Should i upgrade my intercooler?????

Hi guys, i have a jdm b18 turbo on my ef ( see my sig) .
I'm running 18 psi with the drag gen 3 turbo kit.The engines is making 400whp.What should i first upgrade?
I'm thinking to change the intercooler or the inlet manifold and throttle body.
What do you guys suggest?The engine has stock sleeves so i 'll be not going more than 23 psi.I use my car at the strip only....
Thanks

If you still running your drag intercooler then upgrade that first. 2 inche inlets on the drag intercooler is kinds of small. and are you still running the drag T3 T4 turbo, if you are that turbo is kind of small too so it will create alot of heat if you are boosting high so a bigger intercooler is a must.

You could get a Precision intercooler. The 600-hp or 750-hp

why not log some iats before spending money on a new intercooler??? even though i think 400whp is probably the limit for the drag IC.
