IMO, Delco Gold (UPF series) or Mobil 1, either for longer OCI or use w/ synthetic oils, save some $$ and go w/ Purolator Pure One or even cheaper the regular Delco filter is of excellent quality.....Use the 1st filter on my 10K mile LT-1 (Iron Head)powered Impala with the Mobil One 0W-40 changed over from 5W-30 M1 just last week...

Mobil One synthetic 75-90 in the rear w/ 4 oz GM lube and valvoline syn blend PS fluid and Tranny fluid (w/ 10oz Lubeguard Red and the deeper Silverado tranny pan)...Dexcool every 4 years, brake fluid next , been "negligant" bout that, flush and refill, looking for DOT4 ATF Blue...

Yep! I run the K&N HP3002 on my LT1 Firebird, it's a perfect fit with tons of room to spare, and it is the same size as the PF1218.

This K&N gets my vote for the best filter for the LT1. I have seen excellent oil analysis results with this filter and my oil pressure gauge shows me that this filter flows very well.

In a PF1218 size......My picks would be baldwin, amsoil, ac delco duraguard, or K&N.

Before I say more, if you truly want best hard to match a Bypass filter set up.

The Trasko bolt on filter seems to be the "easiest" one.

The Amsoil Dual Remote also seems fairly straight forward.

For regular filters:

Personally, the AC Delco Ultraguard and K&N are my favs

AC Delco Duraguard 'blue'

AC Delco Ultraguard 'black'

Bosch

K&N Performance Gold

Mobil 1

Purolator Premium Plus

Purolator PureOne
