The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup truck that entered the automotive
market in the year 2000. The Toyota Tundra continues to grow in popularity
thanks to its outstanding performance, stamina and overall comfort. With its stylish and aggressive exterior, quiet and roomy interior and excellent turning radius, the Toyota Tundra 4.7L is a great truck for hard work and punishment. Just as practical as a daily driver, the Toyota Tundra handles well, has excellent interior storage space and the 4.7L engine is more economical than many other full-size pickups.
K&N Air Intake System for Toyota Tundra and Sequoia 4.7L V8
K&N engineered an air intake system (77-9032-1KP) to squeeze even more power out of the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Toyota Tundra with the 4.7L V8 engine. The 77-9032-1KP includes a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube that is designed to smooth and straighten air-flow to your engine. Attached to the tube is a high-flow K&N air filter,
part RU-5045, that provides excellent filtration while allowing virtually unrestricted air-flow to enter the intake tube.
Temperatures can get pretty extreme under the hood of a truck so K&N's 77-9032-1KP
comes complete with a powder coated metallic heat shield. The heat shield is
designed to isolate the air filter from the radiant heat generated by other
components of your engine. By isolating the filter, more fresh, outside air
can enter your air filter resulting in greater power and performance.
K&N air intake 77-9032-1KP is
specially designed to increase horsepower in the 2007 to 2009 Toyota Tundra 4.7L. Dyno testing revealed an additional 8.99 horsepower at 4717 rpm. Owners of the 2008 and 2009 Toyota Sequoia models with the 4.7L engine can also boost their power with this simple performance modification.
Installing a power gaining air intake system on your Toyota Tundra is much easier than many would think. A typical installation takes less than 90 minutes and requires common hand tools. K&N provides detailed instructions which make adding horsepower easy.
K&N also offers an optional Drycharger® filter wrap (RU-5045DK) that can be used with the 77-9032-1KP air intake system. Drycharger® filter wraps are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water.
Ray Cook made racing history by being only the eighth driver to win the crown-jewel event twice in its 18 year running.
Ray Cook inked his name in race history by winning the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series sanctioned 18th Annual DART 'Show-Me 100.' The $30,000 to win event, held at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Missouri, became an instant classic as Cook the Brasstown, North Carolina driver came home the winner of the event for the second time in his career, surviving a three-wide battle for the race lead in the process.
Cook started the race in the 11th spot and quickly moved into the top five before half-way through event, he survived a three-wide battle for the race lead the ultimate victory.
Cook "The Tarheel Tiger" likes to keep his priorities simple and in order - God first, family next, and racing third.
"It was certainly such a blessing to win the Show Me 100 for a second time. It was way back in 2000 when I won the first one, and I didn't think I would ever win it again," admitted Cook.
"This is such a great race and one of the crown-jewels in our sport of Dirt Late Model racing. Being one of only eight drivers to ever win this race twice is quite an honor."
Further race history was made as the 18th Annual DART Show Me 100 begins a new era of the event's illustrious history at the state-of-the-art, Lucas Oil Speedway. For the first 17 years the DART Show Me 100 called West Plains Motor (Missouri) Speedway home.
"This was one of the longest races we have seen in a long time, lasting one hour and forty-five minutes," said Cook.
"There were a lot of cautions for wrecks and flat tires. Starting in the 11th spot and moving in to the top five before half-way, I knew we had a great car and a good chance of winning, if nothing happened to us. In a long race like that, you just have to try and stay focused as much as possible, and not lose sight of what you're doing. We were able to pull off the win, and everything worked out great for us."
Says Cook, "K&N has as much to do with our success as any of the products we use. We are very proud and rely of all the K&N products we use, from the oil filters to the air filters, and all the other products. Great products are the key to winning long races."
Cook is currently holding down the fifth position in the overall championship points standings and he is moving up with every race.
Following the first couple of flat-out dominate victories for PA Motorsports, and driver Darren Burke, in the Historic Formula Ford Series, suspicious eyes began to leer. After team owner Peter Alexander notched his fifth straight win, even formerly rational competitors began to snap their petcocks.
Lead driver for PA Motorsports, Darren Burke, piloting the Macon race car.
"Almost right from the first race rumors started that we are running a 'big' engine, mainly because we were getting pole position by quite some margin and our race pace was similar. We have set new lap records at every circuit we have been to so far, even despite carrying an additional 19 kg (43 lbs) of ballast on the car, because a new driver and car weight was introduced for this season," clarifies Alexander.
It all came to a head at the historic Snetterton Circuit in Norfolk, England, when paddock rumors peaked. After the race Alexander's Macon was directed into the scrutineering-bay, something Alexander felt certain would happen. The team was asked to have their differential sealed, to which Alexander eagerly agreed.
"The scrutineers looked at me in a funny way and I explained about the number of rumors I had heard. The scrut's confirmed that they had had their ears bent by a few of our opposition too, so I said, well; while you're sealing the diff can you seal the engine too? I must be the first Team owner to ask for his own engine to be sealed."
"Autosport magazine found it amusing too and ran the story this week. I'm hoping that we can get the diff and the engine checked before the next round at Mallory, so we can go there with everyone knowing we are legal."
We wondered if the Macon was really that much faster than everyone else, or if Burke was in some ludicrously proficient zone, or what was up?
"It's a bit of both," admits Alexander. "I have put a lot of time and effort into the car but Darren is also using it properly. We trust each other totally, he lets me put the set-up on the car I think is right, and I let him get on and drive it. We work really well together and it's nice that he has said it is the best car he has ever driven. He has said that even if he moves on to greater things, he still wants to come back and drive the car for selected races."
Alexander says that the team would love to set the lap record at every single circuit. Currently the Macon holds six outright HFF lap records, more than any other marquee in the Historic Formula Ford Series. If it rains at a particular circuit that they haven't set the lap record on, the team intends on returning next year and nailing it.
Driver Darren Burke has been disappointed with the rumors that the team is only going so fast because they're cheating, he wonders why they refuse to recognize his skill in this historic accomplishment.
"I have to keep telling him that it is a good thing that people are saying these things because 'A' - they don't think the times we are doing can be done and 'B' - if they are worrying about us, they aren't focusing on their own cars and set-up. I just hope that some key people notice what we are achieving together," says Alexander.
Alexander continues, "To be honest I think a lot of them are just bewildered and don't know where to look first for the additional pace. We are visiting a lot of circuits that Darren has never ever been to before and he still produces the goods. A classic example was Oulton Park last year, Darren had never been there, yet on his fourth lap of testing, he was significantly under the lap record. It would be nice to get some recognition for our preparation and set-up as well as the Macon cars, as I still get told that to compete in Historic Formula Ford Series, you have to have a Merlyn."
There are still a few races left for PA Motorsports, including the one at Spa, however Alexander and Burke are extremely confident in the car as well as the driver.
"The more races we win the more I start panicking though that something silly is going to break on the car and spoil our unbeaten run," says Alexander.
"All it takes is a throttle cable to snap for instance. The more we win, and the more lap records we get, the more time I'm spending on the car. We have worked on every area of the car and the support from K&N Filters has been a big help. We are using the K&N products on all of our team cars and we have found significant gains in every one, and in a low powered Formula like, Formula Ford, every little thing makes a difference."
The next round of the HSCC Historic Formula Ford is at Mallory Park on Sunday 20th June. PA Motorsport / K&N Filters and Darren Burke currently lead the Championship by 40 points.
NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park
Drag Racing is quite a game of numbers when you get right down to it, no matter what class or level one competes in.
Mike Edwards is certainly adding all the numbers up in the correct columns by continuing to lower his E.T. numbers which equals higher quantities of win lights come race day, in his Penhall/Interstate Batteries/K&N Pontiac GXP.
Victory for Mike Edwards at NHRA SuperNationals in New Jersey
Immediately after Edwards NHRA Pro Stock victory in Joliet, Illinois, and the first of four back-to-back scheduled events, the team headed to Englishtown, New Jersey for the NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park.
When Edwards arrived, the team never skipped a beat and quickly grabbed the number one qualifying spot during session number two by posting a 6.513, which also happens to be the third quickest run in NHRA Pro Stock history.
Mike Edwards also took the Low Qualifier Award
That number would hold through the remainder of the qualifying sessions and place Edwards securely on the pole position for Sunday's Eliminations, where the Coweta, Oklahoma resident would face number sixteen Justin Humphries.
The air conditions on Sunday were quite treacherous for all teams compared to days prior, especially for those classes such as Pro Stock who rely so much on what they are given to work with, and it showed in the much slower E.T.'s the teams posted on race day.
Edwards made his way through Humphries in round one, then moving on to defeat former Pro Stock Champions Greg Anderson and Jeg Coughlin, all who had the starting line advantage, but not the numbers they needed to hold back Edwards tremendous horsepower.
While Edwards was ready for his final round match up with class newcomer Shane Grey, Mother Nature had other plans in mind.
A persistent rain spread over the area last Sunday afternoon and caused NHRA officials to postpone all of the professional final rounds for the SuperNationals until the next morning at 10AM.
Even another rain delay couldn't quiet Edwards's momentum and during the final he had Grey covered easily on both ends of track to garner his third NHRA Pro Stock in a row and his seventh of the 2010 season.
"I was nervous this morning because you just don't know how good the track is until you get on it," Edwards said shortly after his win. "We changed the transmission and rear end yesterday and made some more changes today because we knew that Shane was hungry. As far as I'm concerned, he already has my vote for rookie of the year. I knew I had to have a good light and couldn't lay back, but I wasn't trying to. I may have gotten away with one."
Next stop for Mike Edwards and his Penhall/Interstate Batteries/K&N Pontiac GXP is the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee, June 11-13. The event will also be the final chance for Pro Stock teams to earn points toward making the field for the K&N Horsepower Challenge, where Edwards secured the number one spot many events ago.
Wind was a problem for both round five and six of LOORS event - trucks were consistently over shooting their landing strips.
The Lucas Oil Off-Road Series is in its second year, and this is the second time this year that the event has visited Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS), with a third scheduled for November 6 and 7. The race was run on the 1.1 mile stadium course that Lucas built back in February and the who's who of racing showed up to race.
K&N sponsored Marty Hart battled through sketchy track conditions for his round five LOORS victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
This time around the bi-polar track conditions were a major focus, one hour it was warm and windy and another it's biting cold wind mixed with a tad rain. Wind gusts up to 35 mph made it hard to keep the track damp, and dust became an issue. When trucks fly farther off jumps than anticipated - wind is a problem.
Surviving and thriving under the conditions though was K&N sponsored Marty Hart, driving for Stronghold Motorsports. Hart, the Riverside, California driver routed the field on Saturday in round five of the series. Hart followed that up with a strong second place showing in round six on Sunday.
"We had a great weekend. Bruce found us more power, so it made it a little easier to run upfront," offered Hart.
"Stronghold Motorsports did a complete overhaul on my truck so we are ready to make a run for the championship."
"My relationship with K&N is great," continued Hart. Their air, oil and hose filters work perfect in the dirty race environment that is short coarse racing."
K&N has been a great sponsor over the years, it is really nice using products that are an asset and actually save my race engines. As far as other plans, we are racing both Lucas Oil and the Traxxas Torc Series this season, which will be interesting but I feel our team is up to the challenge.
The 2010 Traxxas TORC Series kicks off at the "Big House" at Crandon International Raceway, in Crandon, Wisconsin June 18-20.
The next event for the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series is June 26-27 in Utah at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, near Salt Lake City. After that, the series heads to the just-announced event at Glen Helen Raceway in Devore, California, on Aug. 7-8.
