also can have Napa made up hoses. Regardless of what route you go I'd just be very certain everything is plumbed correctly and good and secure. Stay away from barbed fittings with clamps. I treat those lines like a doc does main arteries during heart surgery.

High quality push lock will be more than adequate for any oil system the only thing you wont find is a sweeping bend. Think -10 is around 250psi working pressure. And in salt water it wont corrode fittings and crack.

I called barnes to confirm the oil line size for the supply side of my dry sump system (out of the pump, filter, oil t-stat, oil cooler, and into the block).
They told me to use -12 and not to even think of using smaller than that. I talked to a hydraulic engineer there, not a kid on a tech line.
Maybe it's different on a wet sump system.

3 pages later I`m still not sure if the 51222R WIX filter I use is a good one.
Suthen 30 I notice you rip on Csraub quite a bit .. any reason?
Made with a full metal base plate for superior strength at the double seal & also feature a silicone anti-drainback valve. Glass-enhanced media in WIX oil filters offers greater efficiency, capturing more 10 to 12 micron sized particles than other cellulose/synthetic blend medias. Use PART NUMBER drop down to select filter.

Then what reallly sealed the deal is when he came on and said just swapping out an intake netted 30hp.turned out a ton of other things were changed at the same.SB,B2B(born to burn) got pooched.and then there are the 20-30% correction factor dyno sheets,,,and on and on.
I just don't want anyone getting taking by the con man.he can sure talk the deal and come off as a nice guy,,till theres a problem and its always Your fault.

They aren't wrong, WIX makes a great product, however there are more capable filters out there. The WIX racing filter flows 28-30gpm, however do we really need that? Many never pose this question.

It`s interesting different forums and their dynamics. He is to performance boats.com what Bob-0 is to OSO. the go to guy.
Those guys over there don`t do any pleasure boating, mostly all racers, GN7 (RIP) was a big fan and that guy knew his $hit.
It is what it is I guess
