The popularity of Ford’s F250 Super Duty does not come as much of a surprise. Ford offers an incredible number of options for its Super Duty line. This means that the F250 can be equipped as a hard working fleet vehicle, or a fully loaded luxury hauler.
Performance Air Intake for Ford F250 Super Duty
2008 Ford F250 Super Duty with 5.4 liter V8
Whatever the owner’s needs are, the F250 Super Duty is sure to satisfy. After all, the F250 can handle colossal payloads while still being easy and comfortable to drive. To add even more power and driving ease for those hefty loads, owners of the 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Ford F250 (F-250) can add K&N’s performance air intake system
77-2577KTK.

With the addition of K&N's new Performance Air Intake System (77-2577KTK), F250 owners can realize a gain of nearly 14 extra horsepower. K&N's Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty 5.4 liter V8 on our in-house dynamometer.
Results showed horsepower gains across the RPM range with an impressive 13.93 horsepower gain @ 4077 RPM at the wheels! K&N’s
77-2577KTK air intake system gives F250 Super Duty 5.4 liter V8 owners the power they are craving.
K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. K&N cold air intakes completely replace the factory air intake assembly with an aerodynamically engineered tube and an oversized conical air filter. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on increased acceleration and horsepower whether towing a toy hauler trailer, or heading to the job site.
This air intake system uses a conical shaped chrome top high-flow air filter (RC-5173) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle's stock air box lid. The result is a high-flow air filter that captures harmful particles, provides a large surface area, and has a long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions.
Improving the air path between the filter and the engine is the black powder coated, mandrel bent aluminum intake tube. Our black powder coated aluminum intake tubes offer power and a stock appearance.
77-2577KTK takes about 90 minutes or less to install, requires no cutting or drilling, and is covered by the
K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
For increased protection and style, K&N offers Drycharger® filter wrap number
RC-5173DK that can be used in conjunction with
77-2577KTK. Drychargers® are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the filter.
First Unlimited Light Hydroplane Racing Association Victory in Silverdale, Washington
The Unlimited Light Hydroplane Racing Association (ULHRA) has been racing
automotive powered hydroplanes since 1995. This year, K&N sponsored a relative
newcomer to the sport, Darren Bartels and his UL-11 Power Punch Racing Team. The
boat is powered by a GM 468 cubic inch, blown, alcohol injected engine that puts out nearly
1000 horsepower and can reach top speeds in excess of 150 mph.
The team, coming off a first year finish of fourth place in National High
points, had lofty goals for 2009. The season started in Phoenix Arizona,
but the UL-11 had some mechanical issues in its first two heats. During its
third heat it ran flawlessly and won but too little, too late, as it didn't make the
final.
“We had some down time after Phoenix”, says Bartels, “So we decided to take off
in two different directions.” A weekend crew worked on repainting the boat,
and a Tuesday/Thursday night crew worked to ensure there was no repeat of
the events that happened in Phoenix.
“We got everything done in time to do a couple displays and a couple parades and then got out to Chamberlain, South Dakota for our second race of the
year”, Bartels said. This was an important race with a golden opportunity to
do well. The engine
however, would not sustain power at high RPM and would practically die. The
problem was eventually found to be in the pickling process used between races, but it was too late for that weekend. “We sent the engine
back to Seattle for repairs and received it back the following Friday morning in
Polson, Montana.” Bartels added.
Going into a turn the boat's propeller sheared a blade,
pretzled the shaft and ripped out the transom of the in boat Polson, Montana
The boat ran very strong at Polson. “I’d never seen it go that fast” said
Bartels, "but going into turn one on the restart of the first heat, the propeller
sheared a blade, pretzled the shaft and ripped out the transom of the boat,
eventually sinking the boat in the cold waters of the Flathead river.” The team
plans to repair the boat in the off-season this winter.
Over the next several weekends Bartels leased and renumbered several boats in
the circuit, to the UL-11, and continued to support his sponsors, sometimes
leasing two boats during a weekend to cover everyone. Eventually, in Silverdale, Washington after several different
boats and drivers, Bartels teamed up with Bob Schellhase, who owned the UL-12. A
deal was made, the boat was renumbered with new graphics applied. The boat
was then called the Power Punch Performance Lubricants / Roxy Radio 94 five / K&N
Filters UL-11. All of that fancy footwork certainly paid off, because after a fierce
battle throughout the weekend, Driver Brian Perkins took the new UL-11 across the
finish line first and gave Darren and his team their first victory!
“I know I will relive the excitement of that first victory for years to come,”
said Bartels. “A lot of what we are able to do throughout the season is because
of the support of sponsors like K&N. Their oil filters and breather filters are by far
the best in the business and we are proud to be associated with such an iconic
name in the industry.”
John Lynch, “Voice of the ULHRA” had this to say. “It’s an old racing adage to
do the best you can with what you have. Darren Bartels' commitment to his
sponsors and doing the best with what he had rather than folding the tent
ultimately led him to his first ever race victory.”

Allard and the Williams Motorsports Team put together an impressive race and scored a second top-five in the World of Outlaws sanctioned event. Allard finished 4th on Saturday night. In the 2008 event, Allard finished third.
The Chico, California native scored a third place finish in the opening heat race on Friday night and took fourth place in the dash. This put him in an outside row starting spot for the 30 lap preliminary main event.
Allard ran with the top five contenders for most of the race and exchanged positions with Tim Kaeding several times. After a handful of laps Allard lost a spot and finished sixth on opening night.
By Saturday, Allard had enough points to put the K&N Filters machine on the outside of the third row for the $50,000 to win Gold Cup Race of Champions main event. After 40 laps of racing Allard finished in 4th place, behind Joel Saldana, Jason Sides and Jason Meyers.
“It was an honor to run up front with the best guys in sprint car racing,” said Allard. “The car has been fast throughout the season and I want to thank our sponsors and supporters who give us the opportunity to race. We use K&N oil and air filters along with K&N’s carbon fiber air box. K&N makes the best products, the oil and air filters are easy to use and maintain. K&N gives us an edge in sprint car racing and is dependable every time.”
K&N supported driver Andy Forsberg and the A&A Motorsports Team started 3rd in the B-main event on Friday night. “Andy raced hard,” said Candace Forsberg, Andy’s mother. “With only two laps remaining our Crew Chief Brian Cannon was hit in the head with a rock and needed six stitches. He didn’t let it stop him from working and made adjustments on Andy’s car for the start of the A-main.” In the end Forsberg took 19th place.
“It was a great weekend for the A&A Motorsports Team,” said Forsberg. “We made our 4th A-main with the World of Outlaws at the Gold Cup in four out of the last seven years. It’s also great to have supporters like K&N who make great products. We wouldn’t use any other filter on our race cars.”
Allard and the Williams Motorsports Team return to racing with the Pacific Sprint Fall Nationals this October and Forsberg and the A&A Motorsports Team head to Petaluma Speedway for 360 Civil War Race in California September 19.
The Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycle combines power and handling in the middleweight super sport class. The 2008 through 2016 models are super sport bikes popular in the United States and Europe, especially in Spain. These bikes hold their value well as there is a huge demand for used R6 models.
Replacement air filter for Yamaha YZF R6 Sport Bike
The YZF R6 was the world's first 600cc stock production motorcycle with a four-stroke engine that could produce more than 100 horsepower. Owners looking for a performance accessory to build on the stock performance of this sport bike can find it with K&N. K&N designed a high flow replacement air filter, part number
YA-6008, for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycles.
This performance air filter is designed to provide high airflow, increased horsepower and acceleration while providing engine protection. It is custom made for the YZF R6 and like all

YA-6008R for less restriction and increased horsepower and acceleration.
To be successful in racing, it must first start with the heart. Jerrod Hull’s
heart led him to racing BMX bicycles at the age of six, and he has never looked
back. What started at a tender age has led Jerrod to become a dominant force
each and every time he hits the track today with his own sprint car operation.
Jerrod Hull bleeds black and white checkered blood.
Hull first purchased a sprint car from legendary Hall of Famer Sammy Swindell.
Early success in the sport fueled the passion as Jerrod quickly found his niche
in racing. Success has come easy at times, but there have been difficult times
as well. Never once has Jerrod Hull Motorsports had the capabilities of big
dollar sponsorship. It has been Jerrod’s determination to run the front, but at
the same time, he has carried a philosophy to know when to call it a good run
and end a night early.
“I catch a lot of grief sometimes when I pull in (to the pits or infield) when
the car isn’t handling right,” explains Hull. “I take it in stride because
without some of the funding as these other guys have, I have to make things last
a little longer. We don’t necessarily have the top-level equipment in our
program; we have the best equipment that will last while still being
competitive. If I can load up the car at the end of the night in one piece and
have to make a small repair versus blowing a motor, I am happy.”
There have been many tracks across the country where Hull has found success over
the years, but only one stands out in everyone’s mind, and that is Morgan County
Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois. Hull won his first and only track
championship in 1997 at the venue. His philosophy of running an “outlaw-type”
schedule throughout the Midwest has kept him from repeating that performance.
Jerrod wins 41 percent of the time he races at Morgan County Speedway, with an
astonishing 90 percent rate of 5th place or better over his career.
Hull has won 12 events at nine different racing venues making for an already extraordinary 2009 season.
“Jacksonville has always been a great place for me to race. It was one of
the first places we went when we first got started, and I quickly fell in love
with the track and the fans, says Hull. “Winning the Herb Barlow race there
twice in my career has got to be one of my biggest highlights personally. It’s
an annual race that a lot of guys want to win in this area, and I have been
blessed to win it two times. I hope for a couple more before I am done.”
Hull is the all-time winningest driver with not just one, but two sanctioning
bodies; the Midwest All Star Series and the Sprint Invader Association. He is
also the only champion the Midwest All Star Series has ever had taking
championships in 2007, 2008, and positioned to claim the title in 2009
considering his substantial lead in the points.
The 2009 season started out with a bang. But before we can begin talking about
2009, we must reflect on how the 2008 season ended for the Sikeston, Missouri
hot-shoe. In early October at the Queen’s Royale, one of the area’s biggest
events at Farmington, Missouri, Hull utilized a brand new chassis and instantly
shot to the lead in his heat race. He was leading the field by more than a
half-track when disaster struck. A faulty fuel line pumped fuel into the cockpit
soaking Hull’s driver suit, which quickly ignited.
He brought the car to an abrupt halt and made an attempt to get out of the
emblazed sprinter. While trying to alight, he twisted his leg and fell to the
ground. The car was out of gear, causing it to roll over part of Hull’s leg.
Injuries sustained included minor burns, a torn ACL, torn MCL, and a torn
meniscus, which put him on the shelf for the remainder of the year. He was
particularly dismayed to miss the trip to the Short Track Nationals, as well as
his annual trip to Florida Speed week.
The rebound would begin in the first event of the 2009 season. At a USCS event
in Malden, Missouri, Hull picked up where he left off, ahead of the pack in his
heat race. With just two laps left in a dominating performance, Hull brought his
sprint car to a stop in the infield, concerned about motor issues. Once back
into the pits, the diagnosis was a broken setscrew, which was quickly remedied,
and Hull was sent out for the night’s feature event starting in 22nd position.
He methodically passed each car on his way to the lead, and as the laps wound
down, he lapped the field up to 9th position for the win.
The relationship with Hull and his crew chief Scott Bonar has been well
documented, but one win has always alluded the duo; a victory together at St.
Francois County Raceway in Farmington, Missouri. That all came to an end in a
very emotional evening. Just days before the 2009 event, a close friend of the
team passed away. Hull rose to the occasion, pulled off the win selflessly, and
dedicated the win to their fallen friend.
To date, Hull has won 12 events at nine different venues making for an already
extraordinary season. Recently, Hull led the charge in two exciting events in
Tennessee with the Midwest All Star Series. Taking a bit of revenge on the state
from the 2008 season, he came out of the weekend further ahead in the series
points than anticipated. The weekend would set the tone for an exciting event at
Paragon Speedway in Paragon, Indiana. In a field stacked with higher financed,
former World of Outlaw travelers and bigger horse powered power plants, Hull
commanded the night’s event leading the competition to the checkered flag.
Hull is quick to give the credit for the success of the 2009 campaign to God,
his crew, and his newly developed product support program. In the offseason,
Hull takes time to assess product supporter expectations to be sure he is
meeting them all. K&N filters was one of the biggest additions to the program
this year, bringing with them the best air filters and oil filters on the
market. Hull connected with K&N thanks in part to hiring long time supporter and
marketing advisor Robert Cortum, of Got Dirt Racing Promotions, who negotiated
the partnership.
“I have personally seen through my own business how Jerrod Hull shares the
benefits of partnering with his team,” commented Cortum. Without my involvement with Jerrod Hull Motorsports, I
would not be where I am today.”
“The best thing I can do for my sponsors, supporters, and advertisers is to give
them back more than they expect,” added Hull. “If they just expect their name on
the wing, I am going to show people the product benefits. We are always
looking for the opportunity to under-promise and over-deliver. The addition of
K&N Filters to our program this year has made a world of difference. We would
not have had as much success without their support.”
