Interesting to hear how the 2.46 did in the 617. For a while I was torn between the 722.6 and just swapping out for a different axle. Ultimately I chose the 722.6 because of all the unknowns about how much the .3 can handle. They make a clutch upgrade for the .3 but it's like $700 so kind of moot once you factor in a .6
Mine is fine right now with 240 ish hp, but ultimately I am planning on 300-330 once I get another new pump.

I want to say my IC is 3" thick. The outlets are 2.5" so it is possible that it is only 2.5" thick but I doubt it. Here is how it looks in there now. If you exclude the mounting posts on top there, there is probably another inch and a half to two inches before the top of the bumper. It is sitting on the bottom of the bumper. So even if you cut out a portion of the bottom to have it hang out a 12" tall IC should fit with little effort. It gets a little cramped if you go wider than 27" due to the curvature of the bumper but you can probably grind out more of the inside.
