Yes, it'll work with a stock GT engine or a stock GT/TP engine.

May not work with cars that have the Boss cooler plus a sandwich plate (for sensors or remote oil-air cooler).

The gasket is actually in the same location on both filters (500 and 820). Zero issues with either on my car (with the additional Air/Oil cooler).

Same here sort of, stock cooler and glowshift sandwich plate, 500S, 820S, K&N HP2010 all fit with no issues. I prefer the HP2010 as I pick it up at Advanced Auto Parts with an oil change special for about $6.

I mean that it's bigger and won't fit in that space with the sandwich adapter. All the gaskets are the same.
