I am running a K&N on a Hot 351W, No issues, I had trouble with the Wix filters, The filter pleating was folding up. never had an issue with pressure but did not like what I was seeing inside the filter, That was on a BBF, I changed to a Cat filter, they wrap and bond a cord to the pleating and it prevents it from folding. never tryed to see if they make one that will fit a Chebby.

I have no flow restriction at all with one of these...

I run the black MicroGuard filters from Orielly's.

Yep I run the K&N oil filter on my DD. I was planning on running them on the boat too but I will be running a Baldwin after reading the oil filter thread on PB.

I have always used motorcraft and never had an issue but the info Dusty found is something to think about.

From the link... "A highly technical comparison of oil filters."

After watching this, I'll run K&N next summer.
