Default Cant help but think my intercooler is too small...

Like the title says, after looking at more and more of the setups on here, i think i went too small with my intercooler. Im looking for 300-350 low boost and about 400 on ~14 psi. (t3 60-1)
I'm planning on using a rev hard intercooler, i dont have the exact dimensions at the moment, but i know the core is a true 3" and the inlet/outlet are 2.5"
Thoughts comments, opinions?
Heres a pick of it

i wish dude. Ive been waiting on mounts for 2 months now, its starting to get a little ridiculous. On top of that, my DD just got hit by a dump truck a few weeks ago so that set me back a bit. I have everything mounted up on the engine stand, and started on the wiring all i could, but its not in yet. It'll only take a day or so to get it in and make it look pretty when the damn mounts get here

I made 446whp on a rev-hard fmic, but the car does get hot quicker.

originally my thinking was to get something that will pretty much fill up the entire grill area and leave it at. How much more cooling can the big boys really do if no air flow goes through em?
