No. Your is just the 4" thick one. Others are 3".
The 4" is a little wider, taller, thicker.
Since your area is so hot. And you wanted the largest ic that could fit in front of the grill.
The 4.5" race core is even larger but your hp goal didn't require that large if a core.
Requires a lot of bumper trimming.
If I was doing the install using the race ic. I would trim backwards. And build a new A frame set up to lesson the amount if trimming needed.

Are there cores that are smaller but more efficient? Even if it's more $$$.
The guy in the shop mentioned some IC types that you can put your hand on one side and feel the temp difference compared to other side!! Not sure if it's true..

So far, monted the IC and connected cold pipes upto TB. Also connected the cross over pipe but will have to take it out to resolve the issue of the WG hitting the transmission oil pan. It's stock transmission with stock oil pan.
Either will cut the flange shorter to mount the WG in same place or will cut and relocated the flange somewhere.
Will add pics later.

Rick, see how different is IC install from the way you posted IC installed to the A-support. This one will not fit high without spacers. It would hit at the top. So, this might explain why it was later installed lower, when the oil cooler was removed from behind it.

You can see it going out to the front more.

The reason for the spacers.
The oil cooler. I designed the ic fitment to fit against the A frame.
With the oil cooler in front of it.
I noticed in the pics with your oil cooler behind it. The ic is mounted just slightly higher.
Looks to be against the farthest forward material, hood latch mounting plate.
Where mine its on the flat material against the A frame.
The hood latch is the same on my 03.
The only glitch I see the shop tried to keep the trans cooler in its stock location.
You loose way to much room doing it like that.
