IC tub size question

How big is too big for the intercooler tubes? Is it phesable to think that a 94-5 blower could push enough air through a good FMIC to need a 3.5 outlet and 3" inlet? This is of course with the intake inlet cut and welded to make that possible at the intake (make it all one piece instead of two like wynn has done before).?

Not sure I follow everything your saying, but 3" ID IC tubes would be all the bigger you will ever need on a 3.8. Does it hurt anything to run bigger tubes.?..No, it just makes it harder to route them.

That was pretty much the question. I wanted to know at what HP level that the 3" tubes became a restriction. And 2.5 on the return side. I want to have my rear IC tube to lower manifold cut apart and welded back with the opening larger on the lower. It is hard to explain. I will try to find the pic of Wynns work.

Gary Kuhn made 447rwhp through 2.5" (OD) tubes. Tube size is not the most important consideration.
