In the NHRA POWERade tour, Arend advanced to the semi-final at the season opening race. He was in the No. 11 qualifying position before bowing out to Robert Hight. At Phoenix he was in the 16th and final spot before bowing out quickly in the first round. He was stronger with a No.4 qualifying spot in the K&N Filters car at Gainesville and a No. 8 position in Houston, but Arend has been unable to capitalize in the form of round wins.

The Team Worsham CSK driver aims to reverse his situation this weekend, in what will most likely be his final race with a Monte Carlo body on his car. “It looked like it was going to come right down to the last minute, as to whether we have the new Impala on the car or not, but it’s just a little behind at the paint shop and we’d have to pull some all-nighters to get it ready,” said Arend. “We’ve been running well in the Monte Carlo, so I’m confident we’re in for a very good weekend. We’ve been in the top half of the field at two straight races, and these days that’s pretty hard to do. Drag racing is a tough business and we got edged out by inches in Houston.”

Arend will be going to Las Vegas ranked in the top eight. “We’ve been above the cut line since we started in Pomona, and the main focus for everyone on this team is to stay there,” he said. “If we keep running well, and I keep doing my job, we should be able to qualify high and win some rounds. Winning the first round is the toughest, and probably the most critical, so that’s the first order of business this weekend and every weekend.”

We know, with our K&N Engineering Oil Filters on our cars, that we can have confidence in our lubrication system, and that’s critical to success in this high-performance sport, said Team Manager Bob Wilber.

K&N Engineering has released a new 69-series Typhoon Air Intake (69-4002TB) in powder coated blue for the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 Ford Fiesta 2.0 liter engine. These vehicles are found in many parts of the world, however, they are not sold in the US and Canada.

The aerodynamic design of this complete cold air intake was made by K&N engineers to provide a custom fit for the Fiesta. "This Typhoon Performance Intake Kit was made in the UK together with the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) Group," said K&N Product Development Technician Patrick Jacobs. "The prototype was tested on four different cars. People who have driven the car with this Typhoon Kit are amazed that it could make such a difference."

The K&N Air Filter (RC-9310) mounts under the front of the bumper which allows the typhoon to get a consistent flow of cool fresh air for additional power. K&N Typhoon Systems improve engine performance. A K&N Drycharger filter wrap is included. Installation of this air induction system should take no more than 90 minutes using basic tools.

K&N Engineering, Inc. has released a new polished 69-Series Typhoon Air Intake System (69-8754TP) for the 2002 through 2008 Toyota Corolla 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines. Corolla's with these engines are very popular in Europe and Asia.

K&N Engineering's high flow technology is applied to a large conical open element K&N Air Filter (RU-4960). This provides more surface area for huge increases in airflow and power you can feel. Typhoon Air Intake Systems offer the best possible horsepower with a more stylish appearance.

The design of the Corolla played a major role in the making of this K&N Cold Air Intake System. The replacement K&N Air Filter is placed on top of the engine, in place of the original air box. The aluminum tube fits directly onto the throttle body.

There is a thorough development procedure for all K&N 69-Series Typhoon Air Intakes which requires the use of multiple test vehicles. The Toyota Corolla is one of the best selling cars worldwide and finding donor vehicles for testing in Europe was not a problem.
