Stock fuel filter

I was just wondering what experiences everyone has had using the stock plumbing and fuel filter on their single setups?

I've heard of people running the return line as feed and then running the charcoal canister line back to the pump as a return. The only problem I see with this is where the line would return into the tank wouldn't pour into the stock fuel tub.

The life of a stock fuel filter is short. Is it just because it has such a high level of filtration that it clogs often? What power can one effectively run through this filter before it becomes a restriction itself?

I made it to 517rwhp before I swithed to a Trickflow. You will defiantly come to a point where it does restrict fuel flow. I would say with most comommon setups 400hp is probally a safe point, but if you have to change the OEM one just put in a high flow and save yourself the headache down the road.

I run two stock filters. One on each feed line coming from 2 nippon fuel pumps in tank with seperate feed for each the whole way up to the front. One OEM stock routing feed & filter the second is charcoal line as a feed with a stock filter before the hard line. Should be as good as stock and have no problems but i wouldnt suggest running two pumps through one stock filter just my 2 cents.
