Fram Racing Filters are GOOD Quality units. The only filter I have had issues with was a Purolator Pure One. I have cut many filters apart and the Fram racing filter or Wix racing filter is all I would ever consider running. I personally run Fram racing filters on my car. The cores are metal screen instead of carboard and welded to the metal end caps rather than glued with a heavy gauge can. Cut a few apart and you will see who makes a good filter. The Fram racing filter is a good unit. I dont work for Fram and I dont get paid to put this on here but if you would compare the insides you would clearly see they are superior.

Again, dont buy the "standard" filter and put it on a HP engine and expect it to work. Most of us run our engines with the bypass blocked so be ready for filter failure if you are going to run a standard filter.

The first thing most people consider when buying a race pump is Volume and Pressure. You buy High Volume, High Pressure pumps and put in an engine with a blocked bypass and then you have to deal with 100% filtration and higher volume and pressure on a filter that was designed for 30 psi and 50% filtration. Even the best standard duty filters were not designed for 75-80 psi at the flow rates we are talking about.

We gripe and complain about a $3 filter when for less than $9 you can put a good one on it. The best bearings and oil in the world will not protect an engine with a collapsed filter. No filter and a screen would be a better option for us than a cheap filter.
