I recall a thread with some of the brainiacs discussing the fluid dynamics of intercooler system diameters. The general consesus was that to maintain any semblance of throttle response the intake system has to be as small as possible or intake air velocity drops off dramatically under low (or no) boost conditions.

Unless it's a +1000hp drag monster, a 4" intake may be excessive, is what I'm saying.

get a really exhaust system on that thing, also that intercooler looks to small for the size of IC piping that your running. other than that it looks pretty beasty! I noticed one problem... your oil drain!! what is it doing? looks like it goes into a 90* over to the block?? I dont think thats a very good way to run the oil drain, you want it to be as straight down as possible

buy some piping, not that expensive to get some cheap piping from an auto parts store, 10ft of straight piping 3'' runs me 30 bux. Redo that exhaust, i would be afraid of the exhaust temps melting that thing

detroit 60 series motors make way more exh temp and pressure
