what do you guys think is the optimal diameter for fmic piping? i know the hotpipe is usually smaller than the coldpipe, i was thinking like at least 2.5" for the coldpipe, possibly 3"?? and the hotside liek 2.25" or 2.5"?

ill be pushing like 12-15psi hopefully making like 225hp or around there

The max you would want is 2.5"...2.25 would still even be alright for what you're shooting for.
