Montalvo is just an ordinary Chevy guy from Baytown, Texas, with a passion for fast trucks. "I've been into trucks for as long as I can remember," Montalvo said, "I was only 15 when I had my first one. It just gets better and better from there."
The September, 2009, edition of Sport Truck Magazine™ featured this one-of-a-kind Chevy Silverado on the front cover. "When I was finished building my truck," said Montalvo, "I took a few pictures and sent them in to the magazine. After that they just came out and started shooting it for the article."
Montalvo's truck is equipped with K&N air intake system 57-3058. "I use K&N products for performance and drivability," he said, "It makes for quick power."
Future plans for Paco Montalvo are not set in stone. "I never make plans," he said, "You just never know what you might run in to. This Silverado wasn't on my plans until the end of '08 and look where I'm at now."

"Car Craft" is an innovative automotive magazine that publishes articles to provide the average engine builder and car crafter a budget minded perspective on performance. Jeff Smith of "Car Craft" recently wrote an article called "Rapid Tune-Up Tricks for Your Favorite Holley Carb" which included testing from a visit to K&N's SuperFlow 902 dyno shop.
K&N in-house SuperFlow 902 engine dyno control room.
This article begins by analyzing the performance difference in a 383 small-block when the standard 650-cfm carburetor is swapped with a Holley 750 HP. The first step was to establish a baseline on the K&N engine dyno so that the results of the swap could be compared. Once the baseline was established, the carburetors were swapped and the engine was dyno tested again. The results were not what they had expected.
The 2009 to 2012 Yamaha YZF R6 Sportbikes are built to get around a race track and K&N has designed a replacement air filter to help meet your needs on the track.
Racing air filter for Yamaha YZF R6
The YA-6008R is specially
made for asphalt racing only. Its two-ply cotton media is made to be less restrictive, providing a better racing advantage for the Yamaha’s 600cc liquid-cooled inline 4-cylinder DOHC 16 valve engine.
This K&N replacement panel air filter is built with two layers of specially pleated media and designed to open up the air passage for less restriction. K&N racing air filters are designed to increase horsepower and acceleration.
K&N air filters are washable and reusable. This pre-oiled air filter will fit directly inside your OE air box assembly. There are three clips on the air
filter that will slide into place as the air filter slides down into the air filter cavity in the air box. The K&N air filter will only fit into the air box one way. Please do not remove the air filter o-ring in the air box. Once you apply pressure, the K&N air filter will snap into place. Use the stock screws to secure the K&N motorcycle air filter to the air box. Make sure to install the center screw on the air box as this screw holds the air box lid and air filter in place. No cutting or fitting is required but fuel management modifications will be necessary to obtain optimum performance.
K&N’s YA-6008R is warranted against defective workmanship for one year after the date of purchase with no mileage limitation. This K&N air filter is not intended for dirt track, off road or highway use.
For 2008 to 2016 Yamaha YZF R6 motorcycles used in normal non-racing environments, K&N recommends its four layer replacement air filter, part number YA-6008 for excellent engine protection and air flow.
