2010-2014 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L V8 K&N 50-state Legal Performance Air Intake

The Chevy Camaro, introduced in 1967, was General Motors' answer to the wildly popular first generation Ford Mustang. After 35 years of continuous production, the Camaro took a hiatus between 2002 and 2010, but when it returned, it came back in a big way. The fifth generation 2010 Chevy Camaro took styling inspiration from the original 1967 Camaro. The standard engine for fifth generation Camaro models is a 300 horsepower 3.6L V6 engine and should be plenty of power for most drivers. However, Chevy Camaro owners tend to be car enthusiasts, and Camaro people have a love of acceleration and speed. This is why Chevy Camaro owners who opted for the 6.2L 426 horsepower LS3 engine will be delighted to find out that K&N air filters offers a 50-state street legal intake system for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevy Camaro 6.2L V8 models.

K&N’s Phil Cooper Took British Autograss National Champion Titles in Class 9 & 10

Caption

In Autograss Class 9 at the 2015 National Championships, K&N Filters’ Phil Cooper got a perfect start, grabbing the hole shot heading into turn one before pulling away from the field for the win

Autograss racing is the biggest form of amateur motor racing in Britain. Autograss meets take place at venues throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Autograss racing is held on natural surfaces such as grass or mud and usually on a 400 metre oval track. K&N sponsored Autograss competitor Phil Cooper participates in both class 9 and class 10 races. Class 9 Autograss cars are often the most competitive in open-class races by combining light weight with the power of naturally aspirated engines up to 2070 cc in displacement. Class 10 takes purpose built Autograss cars one step further and with a minimum displacement of 2071 cc, class 10 cars are often the most powerful in British Autograss.

Caption

The last race of the Autograss Nationals is for all 10 class winners, and despite starting 1-1/2 laps behind the first car Phil took the lead on the final lap to earn the Champion of Champions title

Each year the first weekend in August means just one thing to Autograss racers, the National Championships. The National Championships consist of one event held each year for men’s classes, with another event for ladies and junior classes. The National Championships gathers all the local Autograss clubs together to compete for the prestigious Champion of Champions title. In 2015 the National Championships took place at Withington Estate in Herefordshire and was hosted by the Severn Valley Autograss club. 2000 drivers from all over the United Kingdom used early season meetings as a chance to qualify in the top 400 to be eligible to race the National Championships.

Caption

2015 was the first time in the history of Autograss that someone had won the Overall British Autograss championship and the Nationals champion of champions in the same year

In Class 9 at the 2015 National Championships, K&N Filters’ Phil Cooper got a perfect start. He grabbed the hole shot heading into turn one before pulling away from the field. Phil earned a first place at the 2015 National Championships in Class 9. His class 10 race didn’t go as smoothly. Phil’s more powerful class 10 car pulled a wheelie off the starting line. Officials stopped the race and ordered a restart. Unfortunately Phil was excluded from the restart. The final race of the day is the Champion of Champions race where the winners from each class all run against one another. The fast cars, like Phil’s, are handicapped to give the other class winners a fighting chance. Despite starting 1-1/2 laps behind the first car Phil took over the lead on the final lap earning the Champion of Champions title.

In between Autograss commitments Phil races his K&N filters equipped Radical PR6 at venues like Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire and Donington Park in Castle Donington

While Phil Cooper had already been named the Champion of Champions at the Nationals, his Autograss season wasn’t over yet. Round 4 of the British Autograss series also took place at Withington Estate in Herefordshire. Phil went into round 4 leading the championship in class 9. Phil had an excellent day in class 9 taking the win in the final. Good heat races, followed by this win, secured the 2015 class 9 championship for Phil with one round remaining. K&N supported Phil Cooper also had an excellent day in class 10. He entered round 4 in third place, but by the end of the day he had advanced into first.

The final round of the British Autograss series took place in York on September 19th and 20th, 2015. Although Phil had claimed the class 9 title the class 10 championship and overall championship were still in the balance. The class 10 races couldn't have gone any better for Phil. He took 3 heat wins and a convincing win in the final. Phil captured the checkered flag with over a half lap lead to secure the class 10 British Autograss championship title. Phil also led the overall championship out of the 500+ registered drivers. Following 3 heat wins K&N air filters sponsored Phil Cooper had secured the overall win before the finals took place. This was the third time that Phil had taken the overall win but the first time in the history of Autograss that someone had won the Overall British Autograss championship and the Nationals champion of champions in the same year.

Optima USCA Auto Club Speedway Weekend Gets Started at K&N Filters Factory Car Show

Caption

The Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car began its final OUSCI qualifier at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California with a car show at K&N headquarters to welcome drivers and fans

The Ultimate Street Car Association (USCA) is a sanctioning body formed to create safe, fun and high profile national automotive events for street legal performance vehicles. The USCA, in association with several key sponsors, came together to promote nine nationwide Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car events in 2015. All nine events serve as a qualifier for a highly coveted spot in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational event held each November in Las Vegas, Nevada following the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show.

Caption

In 2014, K&N Headquarters in Riverside, California played host as one of the stops along the Detroit Speed Road Rally and this in turn inspired the K&N Factory Car Show for 2015

Part of the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car challenge is the Detroit Speed Road Rally designed to test each car’s ability to function as a street legal performance vehicle. In 2014, K&N Headquarters in Riverside, California played host as one of the stops along the Detroit Speed Road Rally. Because the event was held on a Saturday night very few K&N employees, and almost no public audience, was able to witness the amount of time and ingenuity put into the cars competing in the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car series.

Caption

Despite the heat wave in Southern California, there were nearly 100 entries in the final USCA event, and many of those cars packed the K&N Filters Headquarters’ front parking lot

This fact inspired interested parties at K&N to become more involved in the USCA event for 2015. The majority of the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car competitors arrived a day or two before the USCA event in Fontana and they all love their cars. So why not host a car show at K&N Filters’ corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in Riverside, California to welcome the competitors and share the experience with K&N employees? So began the first, hopefully, of many K&N Filters Factory Car shows designed to welcome Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car competitors to Southern California.

K&N rolled out the red carpet for those competing in the 2015 Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car event at Auto Club Speedway and shared the experience with K&N employees

It’s hard to complain about almost yearlong sunshine, however Southern California only experiences two seasons. Southern California, especially the areas inland from the coast, has a rainy season and a hot season with some mild periods in between. The week leading up to the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car event at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California began with rain; however the heat was once again nearing triple digits as the weekend approached. Despite the heat, there were nearly 100 entries in the final USCA event of the regular season, and many of those cars packed the K&N Headquarters’ front parking lot.

In addition to the car’s competing in the USCA event, many of the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street car series sponsors attended the car show at K&N. USCA sponsors in attendance at the K&N factory car show included: Optima Batteries, Falken Tire, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, Wilwood Disc Brakes, and Detroit Speed & Engineering. Additional K&N partner companies, such as Clarion Audio, RideTech, Total Cost Involved, Go Rhino Products, 742 Marketing, and Hanro Studios were in attendance showing their support for the K&N factory car show. With so much support from within the performance aftermarket industry and from the K&N sponsored racers in attendance this event should be even better in 2016.

The Ford Fiesta is one of the best-selling global cars from the Ford Motor Company. In 2010 Ford released the sixth generation Fiesta and brought the Fiesta stateside for the first time since 1980. In 2013 Ford announced it was going to spice things up by adding a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged Fiesta ST to its lineup. The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST EcoBoost features overboost allowing the 1.6L turbocharged engine to make a claimed 197 horsepower when using premium unleaded fuel. A sub-compact car, like the 2014 Ford Fiesta, with 197 horsepower may seem like overkill, however the electronic traction, and stability control combined with race inspired suspension make this a fun car to drive.

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST is fun in stock trim; however, many owners are searching for a street legal boost in performance for their Fiesta ST. Those owners should look no further than K&N Performance Air Intake System 57-2587. The 57-2587 Ford Fiesta ST air intake is expert-engineered and guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. It replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, high-density polyethylene air intake tube to help minimize restriction, straighten, and increase airflow to the engine. Less restriction and more airflow translates into a boost in usable power throughout the engine’s RPM range.

Additional testing was performed to determine if replacing the turbo charge pipe was necessary for power gains. It was determined that replacing this additional section of the air intake tube did not result in increased performance, and made installation much more difficult than necessary.

K&N Air Intake System, number 57-2587, produced an estimated additional 7.21 street legal horsepower increase at 5,210 RPM on a stock 2014 Ford Fiesta ST EcoBoost 1.6L L4
