About 5 years ago I bought a 74 corvette that was running in stock. I had a motor built for it and decided to have a straight rear put in it along with some other changes. The motor was done before the corvette was finished. I wanted to race at Indy and put the motor in my brother's Camaro and went to Indy. We raced it a few more times and put it away for the winter. I put the motor In the corvette and went to a race the next year. Made a pass and only had 10 pounds oil pressure. After putting another gauge on dropping the oil pan and chasing other stuff someone suggested we change the oil filter after asking if it was a fram. Yup the racing filter. Changed the filter and bam 40 pounds preasure and a .10th in ET. Fram = Junk!!!!!!! BP
