2.5" charge pipe ok?

I'm doing a stock 5.3 with a t70 .68ar, NON-intercooled(water meth injection)

I have some leftover ss 2.5 bends and pipe and would like to know if this is ok to use. It will be about 2 feet total length to inlet.

Als planning to use 3" downpipe dumped behind front tire.

Will there be any restriction at 15psi? Or am I good to go?

Most guys run a 96. ar .... I know some guys run a .68 on a 4.8's and still make just over 500hp. You can always try it and if runs out of breath swap over to the 96. There like 130 from MP
