GMC Sierra Diesel and Chevy Silverado Diesel Owners Add Performance with K&N Air Filter

K&N Engineering has designed a Lifetime Replacement Air Filter (E-0781) to fit in the factory air box of the 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 Diesel GMC Sierra and Diesel Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD.

The washable, reusable, unique round filter (E-0781) is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration, while providing excellent filtration. "E-0781 is very different from the OE filter," said K&N Air Filter Project Manager Joost Adriaans. "Our engineers at K&N added a metal cage on the outside of E-0781 for extra strength and durability. The OE filter does not have the metal cage. A diesel engine is strong and pulls a lot of air, so we made another very strong filter."

Adding performance is simple; just remove the disposable air filter in the Sierra or Silverado and drop in the K&N Replacement Air Filter. "E-0781 is designed to fit in the factory airbox," said Adriaans. "It is application specific."

Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design comprised of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of epoxy-coated aluminum screen. This K&N Diesel Filter is 6-ply for outstanding dirt filtering efficiency. K&N's filter design provides excellent filtration in addition to high air flow when its needed.

Also, K&N's stock replacement air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million-Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will ever need. K&N invented the concept of washable, reusable filters more than 35 years ago.

World of Outlaws Points Leader One Race Away from Title

Donny Schatz and the ParkerStore Team took their 16th main event win at United Sports Arizona Race Park but the win was bittersweet. Schatz, the World of Outlaws points leader was informed Friday that his good friend and Outlaws founder Ted Johnson, 72, lost his battle with cancer.

Schatz wanted to score a clean sweep in honor of Ted Johnson. The Fargo, North Dakota racer nearly pulled it off at USA Race Park in Tucson. Schatz set the pace in qualifying, won the first heat race and led all 30 laps of the A feature to win it. He also finished second in the dash event.

The evening began with a moment of silence at the driver’s meeting, followed later by another moment to reflect on the life of the series founder. In tradition, the missing man formation was in place. “It was a pretty emotional night and I really wanted a clean sweep for Ted,” said Schatz. “The bottom line was it still was about racing. Even with our minds occupied with thoughts for the Johnson family, I knew we had to go out and do something special.”

Schatz took the lead from polesitter Jason Solwold on the initial start in a drag race down the front straight for a sizeable lead. Gary Taylor’s car then went through the wooden billboards and out of the track just off the third turn. Taylor walked away from the incident.

During the red flag for Taylor’s accident, Schatz’s team was confident with the set-up they had in the car. “We didn’t change anything (under the red flag),” said Schatz. “The car felt good and I was just trying to get to where we were going to run on the race track. You can only do that by getting in the catbird’s seat, and we never really got in the catbird seat. We just had to get where we could on the race track. We also had to see what felt best. We struggled at little to get good everywhere. I just had to be patient and stay on the bottom in the rubber.”

The dominating night helped Schatz add to his totals across the board including pushing his lead in the point standings to 330 points, his Fast Qualifier Awards to eight, and “A” Feature laps to 419. Schatz and the ParkerStore Team use K&N Engineering Products. The K&N Airbox worked flawlessly,” he said. “We were able to attain maximum horsepower. I have to thank all the folks at K&N for their dedication to building a superior product.”

Schatz simply needs to enter the final two races in Las Vegas to claim the 2006 Championship. The World of Outlaws Sprint Series wraps up a very competitive 2006 season at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 27 and 28.

Sportsman Racers from K&N Engineering Compete at NHRA SPORTSnationals

The NHRA Pacific SPORTsnationals presented by K&N Engineering was a three-day event at California Speedway in Fontana. More than 400 drivers in eight categories competed for points leading to NHRA national titles and a share of $50,000 at Auto Club Dragway.

The SPORTSnationals highlight NHRA sportsman categories. Some of the best Sportsman racers in the West will gather for Competition Eliminator, Super Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas and Super Street along with the divisions Top Comp and Super Eliminator. K&N's Steve Williams, Bob Harris, Jonathan Fiello and Tom Brown raced in the SPORTSnationals.

Tom Brown competes in Competition Eliminator in the F/ED (F/Econo Dragster) class. He drives a 2005 Custom 195” wheel base dragster. “I qualified 15th out of 28 cars,” said Brown. “In the first round of eliminations I had to race against the number five qualifier. He had problems and I was able to win that round. During the second round I faced the number 26 qualifier and I was able to out run him to get the win light. In the third round I faced the number eight qualifier, and lost due to a bad light and not enough performance.”

Brown went out on the Thursday prior to the SPORTSnationals to test a new motor combination. It did not go as well as planned. They were able to make four test runs, but the motor let go on the last one. “We had some work to change motors for the rest of the event,” said Brown. “With our old reliable motor in the car, we ran numbers that we had anticipated.” Brown’s father, Gene Brown built the engine. The car is equipped with a K&N Intake Scoop (100-8505). “We saw an immediate change in the air/fuel ratio the first time we ran with the scoop,” said Brown. “There was more air flow to the carburetors.”

K&N’s Jonathan Fiello drives a 2003 Undercover 4-link dragster in the Top Comp class. It has a 638 cubic inch fuel injected big block Chevrolet. “Knowing I’m at the track representing the race sponsor is an honor,” said Fiello. “I feel like there are more eyes on me and this drives me to do better. It also helps with potential and existing customers when questions come up about K&N Products.”

Brown’s best run of the weekend was an 8.527 @ 153.40 mph. “For qualifying in the bottom half of the field, going three rounds of competition is a really good weekend of racing,” said Brown. “The Lucas Oil Divisional Event in Las Vegas is the next race for us.”

K&N’s Jonathan Fiello took second place in a close final round in the Top Comp class. “It felt great to make it to the final but it was heart breaking when I lost,” said Fiello. “It felt as if I was punched in the gut. My dragster (2003 Undercover 638cubic inch fuel injected big block Chevy) ran great. It was consistent all weekend and my reaction times were on the money.”

Fiello uses K&N Oil Filter HP-3002 and K&N’s E-3003. “The K&N Oil Filter is the best in the market and it prevents contaminates from damaging the motor,” he said. “E-3003 covers the fuel injection nozzles and prevents debris from clogging the nozzle. The K&N Products did their job like always.”

At the beginning of the race the track was hot and greasy. “I had to make some adjustments on the car,” said Fiello. “By the middle of the weekend it started to cool down and the track came around. By Sunday the track was awesome. My car did what it was supposed to do and responded to all the adjustments. It was a great weekend and it felt good to do well at a K&N Sponsored event.”

K&N’s Bob Harris drove a 2000 Chevy Corvette. The motor was built at K&N by John Reedy. “I made it through seven rounds,” said Harris. “I lost in the final round. Winning any round is good, winning six and losing one isn’t so bad.”

Steve Williams NHRA career began in 1990. The K&N Vice President of Product Development and Engineering won Division Championships in 1991 and 1998 in Super Comp and Super Gas along with 18 NHRA Career wins. He has compiled 16 semi-final and 4 final round appearances, winning in 2003 at Seattle. At the SPORTSnationals, Williams was eliminated in his 1962 Corvette in the early rounds. “It’s hard to lose at any event,” said Williams. “I have been building a new car and have run a limited schedule.” Williams uses K&N Air and Oil Filters and the K&N Composite Intake Scoop on his vehicles,

K&N Engineering, Inc. has a long history of experience, combined with first-hand knowledge that goes into every product sold. K&N products are designed by people whose way of life, inside and outside of K&N, is racing.

K&N Engineering, Inc. has made a 63 Series AirCharger Intake Kit (57-1550) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4 liter non turbo.

K&N test have shown a horsepower gain of 7.17 at 5004 RPM with the 57-1550 Air Intake. "We were able to get such good horsepower because the original factory airbox is restrictive," said K&N Performance Kit Technical Development Supervisor Kirk Swanson. "We designed the heat shield around the existing parts in the engine compartment for a nice tight fit."

K&N's 57-1550 rotationally molded polyethylene Intake system uses a conical shaped High-Flow Carbon Top Air Filter (RP-4660) that fits into the stock location. "The heat shield isolates the filter element from the engine heat," said Swanson. "It helps keep a cooler air charge going into the engine. We used a carbon top on the filter to add to the appeal of the PT Cruiser. It's a very straight forward installation."
