Default Fuel Filter advice needed

I want to change out my fuel filter from a .300mv to a .830mv wix filter if that's the best thing to do. If it is does anyone know the part number for that right off ? If anyone has any other suggestions that would be great also.

Really I don't know, I PM'd the thread starter here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/new-ls1-o...ad-thread.html
I wanted to know if there is a special filter out there or if it's just the basic wix filter made for our cars. Just want to get the right or a little better filter if one is available. But yea I understand your confusion, I'm in the same boat. lol

you will be fine with an off the shelf fram/delco fuel filter. an LS1 with a lid doesnt need a special filter

I guess I don't understand what a air lid has to do with fuel filter selection ? Not saying your wrong, just don't get it ?

what i meant was judging from your sig you arent running an extreme engine setup. so you dont need a special fuel filter.

I think he was talking about before and after O2 sensor readings (you can tell if the exhaust stream is rich or lean based on the mv reading) in that thread, based on a clogged fuel filter not allowing for proper flow.

Fuel filters aren't rated in voltage.
