Procharger Intercooler, Horizontal or Vertical Mount?

Is the intercooler from the procharger kit supposed to be mounted vertically or horizontally on a Camaro. I see the firebirds always have mount them horizontally, but I've never seen how they are installed on a Camaro?

They mount both the same way. In the instructions they show a camaro if you have those.

Would I gain from mounting it in the vertical position? It seems as if it would get a lot more airflow.

Possibly but you might want to swap out the whole thing at that point. This is some testing I did last year on my car https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/powe...tercooler.html
