Default How restrictive?

So im preparing to take my car to the next level but am unsure if ill be able to hit my goal of 800rwhp with the stock procharger split intercooler set up. its a m6 car forged 347, 9.5 compression ratio, trickflow 215s, a&a stage 2 blower cam, full exhaust, d1sc with an esc 8rib. just got the car and the most i hit on a cool night is 11 lbs of boost, the car currently makes 695-700rwhp on 93 with meth.. . . basically the plan is to install the rsi stage fuel system i just bought, up the boost, and get it tuned at ecs. My only concern is that the twin intercoolers wont flow enough and become a big restriction once 1 up the boost???? Is it worth it to do a front mount or leave it?? not sure how restrictive it really is??

from my own research, the F1d is not all its cracked up to be.. D1 or F1a

I'm pretty sure ECS has some used inner-coolers for sale like the ones in there kit.
Might be a good idea to buy one before the tune.
