If you own a Chevy, are thinking of getting a Chevy, or once had a friend that let you drive his SS-396 and you haven't forgotten the experience - the Super Chevy Show is your nirvana. There are ten events each year spread out from Ennis, Texas to Petersburg, Virginia, with eight stops between, and each one is about drag racing and car shows.

This year's 30th season opener was held at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas resident Justin Lamb rolled his Chevrolet-powered dragster to the show and roared away with a bracket win - 7.745 seconds at 162.45 mph.

"Winning the Super Chevy Show in Las Vegas was very nice for many reasons," says Lamb. "First, since Vegas is my home town it is always nice to win there. Another reason is because the Super Chevy Show has not been raced in Las Vegas in about five years, so to win the first race since the association came back to town was awesome.

Lamb says his goals for the season are simply to win as many national event races as possible in the NHRA.

"I think the ultimate thing I'd like to accomplish would be to win an NHRA National Championship, and by winning enough races, hopefully that will come soon."

Lamb says he'd be remiss if he didn't thank his product sponsors, like K&N for their continued support.

"My relationship with K&N is great; they really do build an excellent product. I currently use their oil filters in all of my race cars and their air filters on my bracket cars (Lamb Motorsports). I also plan on using their newly designed scoop on my dragster in the very near future, by all indications it appears to be a great design."

Lamb's plans for the 2010 season is to race as many races on the west coast as possible, as well as head to the east coast to catch a few more national events, and some bigger dollar bracket races.

"Bracket racing is my favorite type of drag racing," concludes Lamb.

If you love monster trucks, then you have no doubt heard of The Instigator. Owned by Lionel Easler, of E&M Off-road Motorsports, The Instigator has been wreaking havoc since 2007 and shows no signs of slowing down. Easler started out racing Pro-Modified Stadium Trucks (tough trucks) after attending a Monster Jam event in 2000. "It looked like fun so over the next year, I built a modified tough truck and started racing it in 2001. I competed with it until 2002 when I took some time off to build a new and better truck," says Easler.

In 2005, Easler got a teammate and a sponsor. He then proceeded to place third in the USHRA, Division I Modified Tough Trucks, and finished the 2006 season in first place. During his time in the tough trucks, Easler became interested in Monster Trucks, meeting many of the drivers at events he attended. "I started to wonder what it would be like to drive a monster truck. I drove for someone else for a few months and quickly realized that I had to have my own truck," says Easler. In 2007, he came across a truck on Ebay, purchased it and The Instigator was born. "The name of the truck came about from my personality," laughs Easler. "Instigator fits me and my family and friends all agree." Easler went on to be named 2007 MTRA Rookie of the Year.
The Instigator is equipped with Triple Bypass shocks, a reverse accumulator, custom ISP seat, & K&N

The Instigator is a 2008 Ford Super Duty with a Patrick chassis, a 536 Merlin engine and a Powerglide transmission. "It pushes 1500 horsepower," says Easler. The truck also boasts Triple Bypass shocks, a reverse accumulator and a custom ISP seat. Of course, The Instigator is exclusively equipped with K&N products. "K&N is an excellent product with a well known reputation. I have used K&N products in my tough trucks, as well as my monster truck. I even use their products in my personal and work vehicles. K&N has proven to be dependable and affordable," says Easler.

Easler says he is considering getting a second truck sometime in the future. "For now, just keeping up The Instigator and making sure it stays show ready takes up most of my time." Easler loves competing in monster truck events and says his favorite aspect of the shows is the excitement of the kids. "I tell the kids who are interested in becoming monster truck drivers that it's a lot of hard work, but you can accomplish anything if you try hard and set your mind to it." When he's not piloting The Instigator, the 46 year old Jennings, Florida resident spends as much time as possible with his own kids. "My proudest accomplishment is being a good dad and providing for my children," says Easler.

Chevy and GMC have improved on these 2009 through 2014 vehicles with a new engine configuration and mass air sensor design.  K&N's new 77-3070KP air intake was custom designed for these changes and to fit in the engine compartment of these models using existing mounting points.  This intake, with its polished aluminum tube and oversized performance air filter, offers a stylish way to increase horsepower in these vehicles.

K&N ran multiple dynamometer tests on several different vehicles, testing several prototype intake tube designs in the development of the 77-3070KP.  The result of this hard work is an air intake with a great power gain and outstanding filtration that is also compatible with factory engine management settings.

K&N power testing on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup with a 6.2L engine showed a 10.82 horsepower gain at 5342 rpm with the 77-3070KP air intake installed.  The 77-3070KP comes with the same million mile limited warranty as all K&N air intakes for street vehicles and it is guaranteed to add horsepower.  The intake can be installed in 90 minutes or less with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions using simple tools.  Watch the K&N 77-3070KP air intake installation video to see for yourself.
