The Wix Racing filters are part of the NAPA gold line. I believe if you do a search for a NAPA Gold Racing filter it comes up as the WIX Racing 51069R as the example above. Just a regular NAPA Gold filter is not a racing filter.

The NAPA gold is not a racing filter but the R filter has a bigger micron rating which lets bigger particles through which is not a good thing on a performance engine, Ya it flows 35 gallons a minute what oil pump moves 35 gallons a minute ??

I have always used the 1061 NAPA gold on a my circle track engines with the bypaas plugged and zero issues.
