It does not work that way. The Fram filters will cost you 5% or more of your peak horse power and will cause higher fuel consumption.
I had a customer, when I was at a dealer years ago. He had a JD 4455 that he was using right at the horse power limit of the tractor. One fall he brought the tractor in saying it all of a sudden would not pull his disk chisel like it should. He had lost a gear and 1/2 mph in speed. We dynoed the tractor before we did anything. It would peak out at 138 horse power. I pulled the filters out and he had put in new Fram filters. They did not have four hours on them. I put JD filters in and dynoed it again. 149 horse power. He went and raised cain with the parts place that sold him the Fram filters. He brought two new Fram filters back with him. We put them in the tractor and checked the horse power again. 142 hp. Put the JD ones back in and it was back at 148-149.
I know it is not much of a difference but it was enough to cost him a gear.
