I am switching from a 5/16 line to a 3/8 line to feed my new Compu-Flow 416 stroker, what is the best fuel filter to use? I have the small glass style with the changeable filters on it now, installed before the mechanical pump down by the frame. Any advice on what style and new locations are appreciated. Thanks. Greg


416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.
11.06 open headers----so far!!

I run the fram metal canister type like mopar used in the stock SB's location right by the alt/ waterpump area. This is with an electric pump, I also run the big fram canister type before the pump back by the tank.

Those suck and are highly restrictive from my experiences and the 100 micron sintered stainless are top notch at least for elec. pumps.

Before I upgraded to the MagnaFuel pump and filter I was running a Carter mechanical pump with 3/8 rubber line and a Autozone $2.00 fuel filter and saw zero improvement after the change.I had ran a best of 6.29 @ 108. I am racing 1/8 mile only and shifting at 6800 rpm.
