| Ron, I have the same tight clearance, right near the bottom of the long Wix filter, (1.5 Qt, P/N 51794). I also use the non-race filter, for better filtration. I have not had any issues with that. I haven't noticed any significant increase in the oil temperature either, if that is your concern. I wouldn't use the setup for a street driven machine, but for the short time our engines are running, I don't think it presents any issues at all. I do have to use a strap type filter wrench, and once i get it loosened by 1 turn, the filter just begins to touch the header tube, so I have to slide the strap off, or leave it on until the filter is removed.

| I have header issues as well, have had to run the short passenger car filter. BUT!!! The NAPA Gold #7099 is even shorter than the standard filter, and I have no concerns running the NAPA Gold line filters. 10w30 and 6500 RPM's here too.

| I believe the K&N 1011 is the shortest and what I run. |

| I run a remote dual oil filter setup with the very large truck type filters like Fram 373 or Wix 51794. They are ran parallel and not in a series so there is large surface area, very little restriction and it filters all of the fine particles that a race filter passes through. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |
