Dont want anyone thinking I'm bad mouthing the Fram.
EDIT: sorry for the shabby quality, but here are 4 filters in this size. On the far right, Mobil 1 M-210, next is Fram Ultra XG2, followed by MC FL820s, and last on the far left the FRRP variant of the 820. Again, just visual. I will say the Ford racing filter is heavy, and I think its rated for higher PSI or burst pressure (something like that).
i like the fram ultra filters for my daily vehicles. But i think the frrp or amsoil filter seems to be a bit better. Still looking for some specs for the eao and ultra though

I'd say between the mentioned Amsoil, Ultra, Ford Racing filters recently mention, I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. And imo all should flow plenty for your purposes.
i dont think 13.15 for an eao or 13.18 is pricey for frrp. I had no idea he passed away. He was an informative guy. Its been quite awhile since ive browsed the forums til lately. I dont think any of them i could go wrong with either but id definitely prefer to find out which will be the best.

ive had a handful or two of conversations with troy before the engine was built. Im currently breaking it in with a thinner oil as instructed for the ring seating. Ill eventually be using 5w40.

can you suggest a better filter? I have near 50k in mods in the car not including the price of the car, im definitely not concerned with cheap, just what my best spin on filter option is. If it ends up being fram great that will be great, I'll save some cash. However if not thats fine too ill keep using ultras for my daily and my wifes suv.
