Re: Ready to go back in the hole...
Yeah Moroso is all I run as well...haven't had a problem at all! I've also used K&N when the shop is out of the Moroso's when I have time to change the oil :)

Re: Ready to go back in the hole...
YEAH....we got two cylinder heads on.
Bet you can't wait to hear it roar?
Looks good
Same here, I always heard good things about Wix.
Heard bad things about Fram and infact actually had one colapse on me.
My builder likes NAPA or K&N.

Re: Ready to go back in the hole...
I did a search on oil filter ratings and found that most oil filters pretty much do the same thing. Some do have a lower quality but for the most part the better ones do the same thing.
The better ones are AC Delco, K&N, Wix, Baldwin, Mobil 1, Purolater, Motorcraft and a few more I'm sure I'm missing.
The thing here is, in a race motor the oil and filter will be changed so often that does it really mater on what oil filter or how much you spend on a filter.
What I found is that all filters have bypasses and will bypass unfiltered oil just about most of the time in a race motor with high oil pressure. Oil does get filtered but not like you think. Moroso filters also have bypasses but filter the oil with a higher micron eliment. A 27 micron instead of a 10 micron. Moroso says that anything smaller then 25 microns will not hurt the components in a motor. Ok, SO! Is it worth twice the price?
My opinoin is: I am going to keep running what I've always run. I've had no problems with Wix or A/C Delco and have run them for yrs. I don't have to special order them and the cost is half or less than the Moroso filter. I think that as long as you change the filter as often as you change the oil in a race motor it will be ok........
I have seen Frams blown off they're bases so I won't use Frams anymore......!
