K&N dynamometer testing shows an estimated 9.6 horsepower gain @ 4743 RPM. K&N’s air intake design has lower restriction than the factory air box system. The result is a power gain you can feel immediately along with excellent air filtration.

The intake tubes on the 77-9033KP use a CNC machined mass air sensor adaptor. K&N's design ensures the mass air sensor will work with the factory's stock settings. The air intake tube and K&N air filter attach together with an adaptor which provides for a smooth transition for the air entering the tube.

The chrome top K&N high flow air filter (RF-1020) allows virtually free flowing air into the mandrel bent aluminum intake tube. Inside the filter, multiple layers of cotton are treated with 1.84 ounces of K&N air filter oil which traps and holds dust particles while allowing air to pass by with little restriction. The size of the K&N air filter also allows it to go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.

The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine compartment using factory mounting points. A tube mounting bracket supports the intake tube which is mounted to the engine. The heat shield isolates the K&N air filter from the engine compartment and allows it to receive a consistent flow of fresh air. Installation can be performed in less than 90 minutes.

K&N's 77-9033KP air intake is also backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The Ultimate Gambler event is a shootout loaded with the top names in bracket racing from coast-to-coast. Biondo used a .011 and 4.753 on his 4.74 target to oust Idaho standout Dan Lafferty. In the semi-final round, Biondo defeated Jeff Cheney to advance to the final for a rematch with two time defending NHRA Super Comp Champion Shawn Langdon. Langdon is also a K&N sponsored Sportsman Class racer. Biondo took the victory with a 4.806 on his 4.77 dial over Langdon’s .018 induced 4.893 (4.85 dial).

The Ultimate Gambler victory put a huge mark on Biondo’s 2008 resume. After starting his season with a Stock victory at the IHRA Sportsman National event at Immokalee Regional Raceway, Biondo went on to appear in five NHRA national event final rounds. Of those five Biondo won Stock at Gainesville, Super Stock at St. Louis and Stock again at Englishtown.

He also ran six big money bracket events in 2008. At the JEGS U.S. Open in July, Biondo won the $10,000-to-win event. In August, he scored a $25,000-to-win victory at the AA Auto Salvage Superbucks Weekend at Atco Dragway.

In November he went to the Winter Series in Brandenton, Florida and won $15,000.

Biondo uses K&N Engineering products. “I use K&N Oil and Air Filters on all my cars, even my tow vehicles,” he said. “The K&N products keep the dirt out of my engines. I also notice a difference in gas mileage. I get more miles-per-gallon with K&N Filters.”
