Default intercooler size adds how much hp?

I have a forged ls2 with a D1 and have the 2 small intercoolers that came with the kit. I was wondering how much if any more hp i would get from switching to a single center intercooler? Also if i switch to the single intercooler would i need to have it tuned again for that intercooler?
