the nut is a nice addition, but really not needed.
even with the pacesetters close to it, i can still pop the filter off with a cheap-o little filter wrench...

Best flowing filter you can get. Worth every penny under hard load. Watch your oil pressure on the delco filter peg out. That due to a high delta P across the element. Get the K&N you wont regret it. PM Patman for the info.
