Thoughts on intercooler height
Trying to decide on the Treadstone TR1235 ( Core Size, 12.5" X 22" X 3.5")
or
Core Size, 10.5" X 22" X 3.5" (TR1035)
Seems like the top of the intercooler will be blocked by the bumper beam (no airflow), which I do not want to remove. Should I just go for the 10.5" high?
My goal is 550rwhp.
Thanks

There is actually a fair amount of air flow up higher because of our massive mechanical propeller of death. I say go with the taller one and mount it like Luxor said. Heat soaking is usually a bigger problem when not moving so bigger is better in my book until you get up to speeds where the air pressure from the bumper exceeds the flow of the fan.
