Whats the point of the Greddy oil filter block? Does it allow you to have an even bigger oil filter? Please elaborate.

No, it provides a very clean and effective way to mount oil pressure and oil temp sensors for those respective aftermarket gauges.

ive got an even better one that my roomate told me about this guy in his highschool. this guy apparantly knew nothing about cars, but decided to try and do a little maintanence on his own when he heard a strange sound (it was a squeaky belt) and thought that the oil must be low. so knowing nothing about cars he goes to the gas station and buys a quart of oil. he goes back to his house, opens up the quart of oil, and (i **** you not) pours the quart of oil all over the outside of his engine!!!!!! he starts her up and drives to school in the morning, and my friends who were talking in the parking lot see this kid pull up with a huge plume of smoke following him. apparantly the kid did not know there was a problem untill the car came to a stop in the parking lot when my friends rushed over to the car and pulled him out. the kid was stunned to as he was just pulled out of his car and then noticed that it was smoking like crazy (my friends thought it was on fire). eventually when they realized the car was infact NOT on fire they opened up the hood only to discover what this kid had done. needless to say this kid was the laughing stock of the school for quite some time.
