So all of the past oil filter threads heavily endorsing Wix (which I use) are . . . . . . . . . wrong?:confused:

Just remember bigger isn't always better ;). In all seriousness though, it's true. If the application doesn't warrant the bigger filter, it isn't improving anything. Yes that filter does not have a built in bypass valve.
***For anyone with the GM oil bypass valves build into your block, an oil filter without a built in bypass is the proper one to purchase. IF your block is plugged, select a filter WITH a bypass valve built in. |

when i am spinning 6300-6400 rpm and making 1200+hp i don,t care about micron,s i care about OIL FLOW.and the wix racing filter does what i need it to do.i change my oil&filter at 10 hrs or less so it,s a common sense thing for me.when i tear engines down that have run nothing but wix racing filters and all lubricated parts look as they did when installed new im sold.in my car&truck engines that go 5000 miles between oil changes the wix racing filter is not what i use but it is still way better than what super lube install,s when they change your oil.carry on fella,s,jmo but works for me.

Moving on a bit....
I'm still running the OEM lines/relocation unit from the 454 Mag that came with it, but understand that system is pretty inadequate. So what's the hot set up? At the very least change the lines? Is there a kit to buy? |

Good pic of more properly cut open filters:
1st, a typical filter cutter, although many other styles....pretty much all styles use rolling cutting wheels like a can opener: http://static.speedwaymotors.com/RS/...91081031_L.jpg https://www.supermotors.net/getfile/...ers-cut-up.jpg |
