I climb under her and start checking things, and my Royal Purple Filter is litterally one turn from being off. I know it was tight. I did it myself. Talk about a disaster waiting to happen!

1) I've been on the dyno.
2) I've taken at least 9 passes in her.
3) And I'm about to add a blower.

So first question. Anyone have similar issues with their royal purple filters "unthreading"?

What Filters are people running if you are running a "high performance" motor oil?

thanks in advance.
did you prelube the seal prior to install? how calibrated is your arm?
