fuel filter upgrade?

[DimShady]

I'm debating on upgrading my fuel filter, but not sure if i should buy one or just get a OE replacement. i was gonna buy one because i'm running a walbro 255 fuel pump and 880cc injectors, BUT i have no idea how much hp i'm making and plan to only run at low/mid boost right now untill i finish upgrading my motor. So would it be wise for me to get an upgraded fuel filter or not?

If you are going to replace it anyways you might as well put in an upgraded one. This way if you decide to upgrade things later it is already there. Also i have heard that the stock fuel filter is one the largest restrictions in the fuel system.

Because of the restriction in the stock filters banjo bolt i upgraded to this one in the link, it's a new filter with a replaceable/cleanable element and has a -6 line from the filter to the rail (that's the most restrictive point in teh stock fuel feed system) When i say you can clean it, that is if you get one of teh filter elements that's not made of paper ( i got the 10 micron stainless steel one)
