Does anyone know how Chrysler engineers settled on how high the wing should be on the original Daytona Charger?

It had to be able to let the trunk lid clear and the uprights acted as high speed stabilizers.

I think they had to make it that high in order to get the tunk lid to open.hmm

I had a chance to buy a 70 Daytona for eleven hundred bucks back in about 1974. I didn't buy it because I thought it was stupid looking.
I still think they look stupid but they do sell for big bucks these days.

You guys are right. Most people think that it was some calculated  height to reach optimal aerodynamics but because the car had to be made available for sale to the public to satisfy NASCAR rules that's how it was settled on.

A similar situation existed with the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 aero. The trunk lid slit is just wide enough to allow the spare tire to come out. It actually cuts across the bubble rear glass making for an odd design.

There were also stoppers welded on the hinges of the trunk lids on Daytona's and Superbirds to prevent the trunk lid from hitting the wings.
