OP,
Currently using a K&N for the Camaro, may switch to Amsoil. Check length before using a different filter.

I have experience going back to 230cu straight 6s etc also. And I have personally found the cardboard in my oiling system and had a knock in the engine. At the time I didn't know where the heck that cardboard came from (way before youtube). Now I know. Save a buck and buy the cheapest one if someone prefers. Just offering facts so people can make informed decisions.
