I had lost two $10k circle track engines due to Fram oil filter collapse before switching to a new engine builder who madates I only use one kind of filter...
CarQuest label filters are actually made by WIX, and my engine builder uses only these for all his big block 2000+ hp engines and all his 500+hp circle track engines, even all his alky engines. They are about $8.00 each, and it is my only choice now, because the man knows his stuff.
Previously I had lost the first one roller motor on a Fram PH that collapsed the entire filter, can and all, the second was a flat tappet motor that was on a Fram HP that the element collapsed against the steel inner casing cutting off flow. I will not let anyone even bring a Fram into my shop ever again.
A lot of circle track guys use get the cheapest filter off the shelf because it has the least filtering restriction, and we are changing oil and filters every race night anyway. I am convinced WIX is the only way to go. Jim
