Fuel Filters
Is it necessary to have a high flow fuel filter (ie. aem or other aftermarket) to supply sufficient fuel to your fi setup. Say up to like 350 - 400 hp. Or is a stock honda fuel filter system good enough. Thanks for any help you guys give.

OEM worked for me just fine at 372 (as far as I know). Now the AEM one is working just fine. BTW: Nice avatar

If you change your filter that often, it might be worth it to upgrade to an AEM or other aftermarket filter. OEM ones seem to typically cost $20-25, which is pretty steep for just a stupid filter, but part of this is because you're throwing away a perfectly good metal housing every time. With the AEM and others, you only replace the filter element, which costs only $5-10. I think the AEM even uses a commonly-available Fram element. You'd probably recoup your investment after 50,000 miles or so.
