Default What brand / type of fuel filter to use??

i searched the forum and saw a lot of threads on oil filters (apparently Fram is NOT the filter of choice), but didn't see anything regarding fuel filters.

is the stock fuel filter capable of flowing enough fuel to feed about 500hp close to 6000 rpm? what filters are you guys using? is the Fram G3727 a decent filter, or should i be looking to use something better?

winter needs to be over NOW!!

I'm running about 500 HP and I use AC Delco for the fuel filter and oil filter.

I use NAPA Gold. There are other good ones. Whatever you use, use a premium quality grade.

cool - thanks as always for the input. i've got a new Fram in there now, but will probably go with something of a higher grade after i get everything dialed in (and head to the track!)

The Mobil 1 filters seem to be the only ones with a synthetic element. The Bosch filters seem to be good also.
