I run an oval track car. Oberg makes a fine mesh screen in a screw on type canister that will also solve the issue.
What micron mesh do you run with that?
....20 or 22 they don't filter quite as good as paper but they solve the issue. the 10 psi per 1,000 rpms is still the best rule and that is for sustained use. the correct weight oil if matched to the bearing clearances will keep you there when hot. hi pressure does not mean more flow. hi pressure adds heat . better flow cools as it moves more efficiently across the surface maintaining a fresh supply of cooler oil. keep maximum oil pressure @65lbs cold and you should never collapse another filter.

List below is copied from FABO sticky. Hope they don't mind. I've used the 51515 on my smallblock for years. It says it's the same for BB which is sweet as I'm working on my 1st BB.
Part numbers for Mopars and price as of 12/23/2009 ---------------------------------------------------- #51068: $3.68 - shorter/stubby version of the 51515
#51515: $3.45 - normal/standard Big or Small block 1qt oil filter, street version filters to about 20 microns, and has a bypass
#51515R: $6.33 - Race Filter, full flow race filter--no bypass, filters to about 60 micons, very high burst pressure
#51806: $6.03 - A heavy-duty 51515 with a built-in standpipe to keep the filter positively full of oil after shutdown in base-down mounting situations (slant-6, for example). These also greatly reduce oil spillage when removing a base-down filter at oil change time, see here and here for more info
#51773: $4.97 - An extra-long 51515 if you want your filter to hold two quarts of oil and have the space for it
#51076: $4.80 - Heavy-duty replacement filter element for factory optional taxi/fleet/police replaceable-cartridge oil filter
#51085: $3.78 - "Super Shorty" Mopar oil filter, 3.79" tall (the 51068 is 4.338" tall, the 51515 and 51806 are 5.18" tall, and the 51773 is just barely shy of 7" tall)

Those are Wix factory numbers I think. Napa (Gold) and Car Quest (blue) are also Wix and use a different prefix. I'll only use Wix at this point. The cheap filters have all had varying levels of issues over the past 25 years. So I only use Wix/Car Quest.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

Some guys swear about WIX filters that are also sold as Napa Gold.. My experience has been negative.. Hearing everyone, saying how good these were so I bought (6) FL1068s' from Napa.. Every one of them were defective, the spin-on fitting had been tapped incorrectly @ the factory... One could force the filter on but risk screwing up the factory threads.. I took them back for a refund. Note that this was a couple of years back, and most likely they have corrected their production by now.. Just my $0.02...
