I have 10' or so going to the RAS, with a blast gate, straight run, no
turns..second port goes to seperator trash can, 3', no turns, with
blast gate..all using 4" flexible tubing..??

It should handle that, no problem!
I use a couple 15 foot flex hoses, no blast gates, and my el-cheap-o HF
collector works great!

then what is the problem with my setup? the filter is the one
recommended from Wynn Environmental, and the durotex version (lifetime
filter)..even my shop vac seems to suck more..

A shop vac should "suck more" than a DC, if we are talking actual
suction. The DC should move MUCH more air. There is a difference. Kind
of like a garden hose with 50 PSI of water vs. a firemans hose with 5
PSI. The garden hose will put out water at more pressure and would be
my choice for washing the car, but the fireman's hose will put out
more water volume and would be my choice for filling a swimming pool.
