"Fram filter is THE WORST restriction you can have behind a pump. Took two Holley Blues and two Fram filters to go 10.80's in my buddies' Chevelle. One Holley Black (replacement for the Blue) and one K&N Billet filter and I have gone 10.60's.
If you don't believe me, do the math on what the Fram flows and then look at the rest of the filters out there. The Fram is the worst, just like their oil filters.
I said:
I ran a Fram gas filter before my fuel pump for a
couple of years on the street and did not see ANY pronounced restriction the FIRST time. I later replaced the filter and had vapor lock issues. I
removed the Fram filter element and the problem went away. I eventually wound up using a Kinsler
F.I. inlet screen filter with no issues. I have
heard of some elements being bad. The basic Fram
filter design is ok just may be a quality issue
with a few pieces. The Fram company has changed hands a couple of times over the years and their
quality requirements may have changed with the
different management philosophys. Tom V.
