For a performance car, flow is really more important than filtering. With a remote setup its possible that your engine will run dry for a longer period of time when you start it. Most bypass filters steal some of the oil pressure to push the oil through their thick media, I was told by an oil expert (who analyzes my used oil) that you should never use a bypass on a performance engine. However, the best bypass filters actually use toilet paper (cheaper) and filter down to less than 1 micron, but require frequent changes.
