The front fuel inlets on the Sniper body are mounted really high so the fittings will run into the air cleaner base. The instructions don't mention it, but Holley sells a special Sniper air filter base. Not sure why the instructions don't point it out, seems like it could help guys out with a problem.

I bought one of the Sniper air cleaner bases but I don't think I'll use it. I decided to use the fuel fittings on the back of the throttle body rather than the front ones. The Sniper base if kind of flat while my old K&N base seemed to have a better shape to it for air flow. I haven't tested either one but the K&N just looks better so I'm going to use it.
