Default sufficient intercooler

i just bought a T3/TO4E turbo from phoenix turbo and i was looking at precision intercooler that will support up to 350hp....but i'm thinkin with a good tune (because of my 10.6:1 compression in a b18c1) that i'll be pushin kinda close to that. Should i buy this intercooler or get one that'll hold a little more hp

go for the next one up. i dont think that hp rating is at the wheels anyways. the 600hp should work nicely with room to grow.

A 8x24x3" core will work fine for 400-500whp. I would go with the Precision 600hp one, it's always good to go big considering you are going to upgrade sooner or later. I've ran the 600hp Precision IC on several 350-500whp set-ups in the past and they work great on each one.
