Yes I believe that will work... I ended putting a piece of rubber on the sensor and pushing it in.. hasn't came out looks like it fits rt in..

I just used my stock sensor and used zip ties that go through small holes i drilled in the fins that stick off the intake. Not ideal... but it works fine and looks OK.

How does your truck perform with the new intake? I put mine on when I did the cam, so i have no idea what it added alone.
