Yes it will, but be aware of the backing plate, it is made of pot metal [:@], there were casting nubs on the surface where it meets with the carb or TB, when I tightened it down, it broke out around the bolt holes, on the replacement I had to file them off, and have had no problems since.
I think the K&N unit is a better quality product, and you get a genuine K&N filter too......

I'm also running the Big Sucker and had no problems with the mounting. The Orignal football cover will work just fine over you big sucker filter.

Mine doesnt fit at all. I did opt for the stage 2 ness filter so I'm guessing thats why. I guess its deeper.

Right, for the Stage 2 you need a round cover like Evo.
