I will throw this out there as far as oil filters go. On a performance engine I like the system one oil filters. Yes, they are expensive, but eventually they will pay for themselves as you just clean the filter element. two they are built strong enough that you will never blow one open, seen that happen on regular filter a few times. three if you have any issues with the engine really easy to pop off the cover and look for metal, yes you can cut open a stock type filter, but it is a mess and difficult. They have several grades of filter media to get the protection you want.
