Default SC air filter

I guess I'll be chasing down parts forever;
Since I built my own intake and charge system to replace the old HO system, I'm having to find (with your help) LOTS of parts.
I needed a good filter assembly, so I purchased Andy's SC filter. The problem is because of it's offset, it won't work with my application. It hits either way I turn it, so I need a similar filter with the inlet "centered. I found one online, but not absolutely sure it will fit.
This is the LAST PIECE of the puzzle that is keeping me from "test firing " the car. (of course after that there's tons more stuff) but I want to know if this thing will even run!!
Suggestions??
This is the K&N I found

We have the filter with the inlet in the center, its basically the same as Andy's without being offset if that works for you. We can send one out today for you. 609-752-0321

good luck on your build

You can start the car with out the filter, it wont change anything if your just starting it.

We've done dyno pulls without filters without issue. I just wouldn't drive for long without one.

I know it wouldn't hurt it in a pinch, but although I've blown everything off very well, I'm just know that I did a LOT of cutting and grinding during the install, and I wouldn't want to "suck up" any particles through the SC.

If I can't get something by this weekend, I'll definitely fire it up, but I'd really like to drive it if it's a clear day, but I won't without a filter.
