Funny you say that WConley for about 8 years I had the account for a porsche and audi dealer near me from like 1998 to 2006 and I put fram filters on them thinking I was doing the right thing and when they saw it they told me that I cant use framthe manufacturer gives them a hard time if that filter is on a motor that has a problem. I never used them again on any car.

And yes that looks hot Brent and make no mistake it will make more HP.

Beautiful!

Dual four FE's are eye candy. Wonderful to see this testing/playing.
Great job.

What filter manufacturer supplies the, “Autolite,” reproduction filters?

Back in the day, a Fram HP1 was as good a spin-on filter as was available. I used D-A Speed Sport oil and the Fram HP1 was recommended. D-A customer service was such that they'd give you a package, free, that had a can inside and a box with their address and postage already on it. You could send in an oil sample and they'd analyze it and send you the results. Didn't cost anything. :)

JJ is looking really good with the BT and fresh carbs.  Hopefully it will get you where you want to be at this point of testing.  Joe-JDC

Looks good Brent. How would a factory 2x4 perform on a 445 stroked 390 for the street? Just weighing options and I have an old friend I went to school with that has one I may be able to talk him out of. Other than that I will likely go with the Performer RPM. And TFS heads if they ever become available.  :-\

Thank you for not having a Fram oil filter on there.

   Brent is WAY smarter than that!

It depends on which factory 2x4.....if it's one like mine, it will do really well.  LR 2x4?  Not so much....
