K&N Engineering has just released a Replacement Air Filter (HA-1006) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Honda CBF1000.

More than 35 years of research and development has made K&N the leader in air filtration technology. K&N Air Filters are made of 4 to 6 layers of cotton gauze sandwiched between two epoxy-coated aluminum wire screens. The cotton is treated with a specially formulated grade of oil. This causes tackiness throughout the cotton's microscopic strands. The nature of the cotton allows air flow and when combined with the tackiness of our oil, it creates a powerful filtering media that ensures engine protection.

HA-1006 is a drop-in replacement air filter that requires no modifications. K&N Air Filters are washable and reusable. K&N makes stock replacement air filters for virtually every motorcycle and automobile on and off the road. K&N's stock air filters for street vehicles are covered by our famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your vehicle will ever need.

K&N Filters Chevy Moves from NHRA Gatornationals to NHRA Spring Nationals

A special edition K&N Filters Chevy driven by Jeff Arend made history on March 18th in Gainesville Raceway at the AC Delco Gatornationals.

Arend will always be remembered as the driver Ashley Force defeated for her first NHRA Nitro Funny Car round victory. The legend’s daughter had a clean 4.789 run and left a tire-smoking Arend in her clutch dust. After two days of solid qualifying, it was not the type of day Arend was hoping for.

He drove the K&N Filters Chevy to three solid laps in four qualifying attempts. On Friday, a 4.956 lap left Arend sitting in the 16th position overnight. On Saturday, Arend made the quickest lap of the session on his first attempt, with a 4.800 pushing him up to the No.4 spot. In the final run he moved up to the No.1 spot with a 4.774.

“We put three full laps on the board, and got better with each one of them,” said Arend. “We reset my career best speed for one thing, but the most important part of it was just how consistently well the car was running. We expected to do very well on Sunday, and I won’t deny the fact I really thought we had a good chance of winning the race.”

Arend pulled away from the tree by nearly 6-hundredths of a second. That lead evaporated before the 60-foot time, as Arend’s K&N/CSK car smoked the tires almost instantly.

“I will admit that I didn’t think it was a good thing to have Ashley Force in the first round,” said Arend. “She’s doing a great job driving that car, and it’s a very fast Funny Car. They’re doing great and they have all the resources of John Force Racing behind them. It truly was just a matter of time until she started reeling off wins, and I just wanted to make sure she got the first one off of someone else. It didn’t work out for us, but we’re leaving Florida with a good car and some more good runs under our belt.”

Arend will race the K&N car at the O’Reilly NHRA Spring Nationals at Houston Raceway Park March 30 through April 1. “The Houston race will be a big one for our entire team,” said Worsham Team Manger Bob Wilber. “We’re spending every hour we have available getting ready for it. The special-edition K&N car performed extremely well in Gainesville. We qualified 4th in a very strong field, and it was even in the No.1 spot for a bit before being bumped down to 4th by three of the strongest cars in the sport. That was our best qualifying effort of the year, and I think it shows that we’re on the right track and we’re getting better. Now, we need to take it to the next level and put both the K&N and the Checker, Schuck’s Kragen cars high up into the field in Houston. We hope to win some rounds there and hopefully the race. We know, with our K&N Oil Filters on the cars, that we can have confidence in our lubrication system, and that’s critical to success in this high-performance sport.”

K&N Engineering has developed a 77 Series High-Flow Air Intake System (77-9030KP) with a bright finish for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser V6 4.0 liter engine. K&N dynamometer tests show a horsepower gain of 8.17 @ 4785 rpm.

"The factory air box is mounted to the intake manifold," said K&N Performance Kit Manager Bert Heck. "We gained horsepower by removing the factory intake system and replacing it with our smoother, less restrictive air intake. We also put in an oversized cone shaped K&N Air Filter (RF-1048) which allows for more dirt retention before cleaning is required. This is great for weekend warriors who love to go on the dirty and dusty back roads. The heat shield on 77-9030KP is secured using existing mounting points near the power steering reservoir and on the inner fender. "

The K&N Air Intake System is free-flowing which results in more power. "The mass air sensor is installed in the K&N Intake tube with the provided hardware," said Heck. "The placement of the mass air sensor was an important part of gaining horsepower on this kit."

The factory engine cover fits in its original location once the K&N Intake System is in place. It takes less than 90 minutes to install most K&N air intakes with common tools. K&N air intakes come with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

K&N Sprint Car Racer is Points Leader in Golden State Challenge Series

Sprint car racer Jonathan Allard is the points leader in the Golden State Challenge Series.

Allard and Williams Motorsports ran in the double header at Kings Speedway in Hanford, California this past weekend.

K&N Filters, Red Line Oil No.0K&N Filters, Red Line Oil No.0
On Friday, Allard qualified sixth with the K&N Filters, Red Line Oil No.0 and ended up with the outside row number two starting spot for the 30-lap feature. “We use K&N Engineering Oil and Air Filters along with K&N’s Carbon Fiber Air Box,” said Allard. “K&N makes the best products, the oil and air filters are easy to use and maintain. We just wash, assemble and race and we never have to worry about performance.”

Allard made his move early in the feature and took the lead in one turn. There were numerous cautions and the pace began to slow. At lap 20 Brad Sweet took back the lead, but another caution stopped the race again. Roger Crockett was able to get by Allard for second place. When the white flag came up Allard was out of fuel but managed to make it across the line. He fell from third to seventh on the final lap.

On Saturday, Allard was 28th in the qualifying order but moved his way through lapped traffic to pick up the win and gain five points toward the championship. Allard leads the Golden State Challenge Series point standings by three digits over Sean Becker.

Williams Motorsports heads to Placerville Speedway for Round 5 in the GSC next Saturday.
