Rich,

I ran a Gano filter in the upper hose of my GT-350 for about a year.  I kept 
having problems with the damn thing popping off under high rpm (torque would 
twist the motor and the thing would work its way out of the hose, despite 
safety wire and silicone.)  

Eventually I got sick of it and removed it.  But you know what?  I was amazed 
to discover that thing was just full of crud, including some fairly large 
ROCKS!!!!  So it appears that it's effective at its job, although it would be 
nice if it would stay on the damn car.

In a Pantera, were you to install it up front (where it wouldn't be subject 
to torque) it might be an excellent safety device.  When/if I ever drain my 
coolant in the near future, I may slice open a hose and stick one in there...
