Default C6 Front Mount - Opinions!

Just wanted to know what you guys think of this build...what kind of numbers do you think it'll put down?
Old set up made 616 @ 7.5lbs of boost. New set up would be running 8-15lbs on pump gas.
Setup:
370 LS2 with Dartan sleeves, Wisco pistons, Howard rods, stock crank, stock heads. Custom ground turbo cam from LG Motorsports, A&A Fuel system, Meth. 76mm single turbo.

Can't tell for sure but is it actually going through 3 intercoolers in series?

Honestly I think it would make more power with no intercooler(s) at all but the only way to know is to test it.

anti venom, wharthe perpous of the A2A cooler? as what HP is its core rated at?? i think you will see some major restriction on the itake side of this setup. whats the rating of the 2 A2W coolers??

i personally would double the thickness of the two A2W cores.

Chris.

Ahh yea. Ditch the intercoolers and put a good sized single core on the car. A little work on modding the front bumper will fit a good sized a/a or throw an a/w on it.
