Default Twin turbo intercooler

I'm wondering.... I have a cx racing twin turbo intercooler sitting here. 2.5" in, 3" out. Core size is 7x24x3.5". Stock cube 6.0l LQ4, stock long block. GOnna be on 18lbs ish, goood fuel, meth. Twin billet 6765's.

Do you feel this is too small of an intercooler and will be a restriction?

No advice, but I'm also in the market for a twin turbo intercooler design for my '69 Nova. I keep going back and forth between air-to-air and air-to-water. Might be able to fit a couple small air-to-water intercoolers behind the headlights... I'll check back to see if you get any input on this size intercooler.

What does the one you have flow?

Treadstone makes a couple efficient twin turbo intercoolers: http://www.treadstoneperformance.com...2C+GM%2C+Viper

The next best option would be to build a bell core intercooler: http://www.bellintercoolers.com/

What are your goals? From looking at your sig, that intercooler is way too small. You're just blowing hot air with that thing.
