niles,
I'm not sure about standard filters but from what I've read and seen in my own engines, the racing filters won't pass anything that could cause bearing damage. If my math is right, 20-28 microns equals .0007-.0011 inches and bearing clearances are usually .002-.003. The truth is I don't know if it's beneficial for a low RPM street engine, but from my experience I don't think it could hurt the engine.
