K&N dynamometer tests show a 9.06 horsepower gain at 4862 rpm. To add performance K&N replaces the original air box, air filter and intake tube with an all new air intake system. The aerodynamically engineered non-metallic rotationally molded tube is designed to provide lower air temperature. K&N performance air intake systems provide an increase in horsepower while providing excellent air filtration. Our thoroughly engineered air intake systems provide increases in power that owners can feel.

The K&N chrome top lifetime replacement air filter (RF-1048) on this air intake is protected by a powder coated heat shield. The large K&N air filter provides increased surface area and dust capacity.

The heat shield assembly is installed into the engine compartment and a bracket supports the tube which is mounted to the throttle body. The 63-3064-1 can easily be installed in 90 minutes or less and is backed by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The K&N air intake system 63-3064-1 fits the following vehicles:

Scott Harris of Gilbert, Arizona is one of the best-known independent vehicle customizers in the industry. He was chosen by LEER, to create a truck for its booth (no. 31745) at SEMA.

Harris has won many styling competitions with his use of color, shape and technology in his bumper to bumper makeovers. He works on every part of a vehicle, from performance and power to appearance and entertainment.

Complete details of Harris latest creation are still hush-hush. He has revealed that his project is based on a new Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab and that work is underway at his shop. “I can pick and choose the best parts for my designs,” said Harris. “I selected a K&N Engineering intake system for the additional horsepower. It helps the motor breathe. Luckily I have had a lot of sponsors over the years that helped me.”

Over the years Harris has built a wide variety of vehicles including a Nissan 720, several S-10s, a full size Chevy and a Chevy Silverado. His latest opportunity with LEER allows Harris to work in the area he likes best, mini trucks.

The world’s top 16 riders battled it out to the bitter end for the prize. “The racing was fast and furious throughout the evening,” said Jason Crump. “I went to Germany on a mission to ride better than I have all year.”

Sweden’s Andreas Jonsson took first place and American Greg Hancock took second. Rounding out the podium finish was Australian Jason Crump in third place. Crump said he was disappointed, but managed to celebrate his solid performance as he accepted his bronze medal in the 2007 championship chase.

It was a difficult and hard year for the 2004 and 2006 World Speedway Champion. Early in the season mechanical problems and several injuries including a broken knee cap plagued Crump. “With all the issues in 2007 to finish as World number 3 is satisfying even though it is my worst result in seven years,” he said. “I need to take some time out away from racing so I can come back fully fit and determined to win back the world crown in 2008. You have not seen the end of me, there is some unfinished business to complete.”

Crump uses K&N Engineering products. “K&N Filters do the job they were designed to do,” he said. “I have solely used K&N products and never had a problem. K&N is the best for dirt track racing. They are unquestionably the greatest filter on the market. When you are racing for World Championships you need the best equipment available and K&N delivers just that.”

Crump will be staying in England for about five weeks preparing contracts for the 2008 season. He will fly to his home on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia for a summer break with his family.
