Yes. Just be aware that the Extreme top smallest size is 9", which started me on my journey. That 8" Stellings was choking my motor IMHO.
9" will still fit in your turkey pan, but then you need a 9" base, and all the commercially available ones will raise your filter height by 1" or so, which in turn reduces the filter height you can use (trust me, I have a whole garage of them while searching far and wide). Hence the low-profile base I came up with, thus allowing the 9"x2" filter and the top and lots of air while still letting you get to your float adjusters. Not sure what kind of hood clearance you have. Some folks that have used it have gotten away with 2.25" and 2.75". Not trying to be a sales guy here. Just sharing what I have learned. The K&N Extreme top you need is #66-0901.

Good luck Patrick!
