K&N Engineering has designed a Lifetime Replacement Air Filter (E-0781)
to fit in the factory air box of the 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 Diesel GMC Sierra and
Diesel Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and 3500 HD.
Replacement Air Filter for GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado 2500 HD and 3500
The washable, reusable, unique round filter (E-0781)
is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration, while providing excellent
filtration. "E-0781
is very different from the OE filter," said K&N Air Filter Project Manager Joost
Adriaans. "Our engineers at K&N added a metal cage on the outside of E-0781 for
extra strength and durability. The OE filter does not have the metal cage. A
diesel engine is strong and pulls a lot of air, so we made another very strong
filter."
Adding performance is simple;
just remove the
disposable air filter in the Sierra or Silverado and drop in the K&N
Replacement Air Filter. "E-0781
is designed to fit in the factory airbox," said Adriaans. "It is application
specific."
Unlike disposable filters, K&N Air Filters use a unique pleated design
comprised of an oiled cotton fabric sandwiched between two layers of
epoxy-coated aluminum screen. This K&N Diesel Filter is 6-ply for outstanding dirt filtering efficiency. K&N's filter design provides excellent filtration in addition to high air flow when its needed.
Also, K&N's stock replacement 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 invented the concept of washable, reusable filters
more than 35 years ago.
Donny Schatz and the ParkerStore Team took their 16th main event win at United
Sports Arizona Race Park but the win was bittersweet. Schatz, the World of
Outlaws points leader was informed Friday that his good friend and Outlaws
founder Ted Johnson, 72, lost his battle with cancer.
Schatz wanted to score a clean sweep in honor of Ted Johnson. The Fargo, North
Dakota racer nearly pulled it off at USA Race Park in Tucson. Schatz set the
pace in qualifying, won the first heat race and led all 30 laps of the A feature to win it. He also finished second in the dash event.
Donny Schatz wins 16th main event at Tucson
The evening began with a moment of silence at the driver’s meeting, followed
later by another moment to reflect on the life of the series founder. In
tradition, the missing man formation was in place. “It was a pretty emotional
night and I really wanted a clean sweep for Ted,” said Schatz. “The bottom line
was it still was about racing. Even with our minds occupied with thoughts for
the Johnson family, I knew we had to go out and do something special.”
Schatz took the lead from polesitter Jason Solwold on the initial start in a
drag race down the front straight for a sizeable lead. Gary Taylor’s car then
went through the wooden billboards and out of the track just off the third turn.
Taylor walked away from the incident.
During the red flag for Taylor’s accident, Schatz’s team was confident with the
set-up they had in the car. “We didn’t change anything (under the red flag),”
said Schatz. “The car felt good and I was just trying to get to where we were
going to run on the race track. You can only do that by getting in the catbird’s
seat, and we never really got in the catbird seat. We just had to get where we
could on the race track. We also had to see what felt best. We struggled at
little to get good everywhere. I just had to be patient and stay on the bottom
in the rubber.”
The dominating night helped Schatz add to his totals across the board including
pushing his lead in the point standings to 330 points, his Fast Qualifier Awards
to eight, and “A” Feature laps to 419. Schatz and the ParkerStore Team use K&N
Engineering Products.
The K&N Airbox worked flawlessly,” he said. “We were able to attain maximum
horsepower. I have to thank all the folks at K&N for their dedication to
building a superior product.”
Schatz simply needs to enter the final two races in Las Vegas to claim the 2006
Championship. The World of Outlaws Sprint Series wraps up a very competitive
2006 season at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on October 27 and 28.

The NHRA Pacific SPORTsnationals presented by K&N Engineering was a three-day
event at California Speedway in Fontana. More than 400 drivers in eight
categories competed for points leading to NHRA national titles and a share of
$50,000 at Auto Club Dragway.
The SPORTSnationals highlight NHRA sportsman categories. Some of the best
Sportsman racers in the West will gather for Competition Eliminator, Super
Stock, Stock, Super Comp, Super Gas and Super Street along with the divisions
Top Comp and Super Eliminator. K&N's Steve Williams, Bob Harris, Jonathan Fiello
and Tom Brown raced in the SPORTSnationals.

Tom Brown competes in Competition Eliminator in the F/ED (F/Econo Dragster)
class. He drives a 2005 Custom 195” wheel base dragster. “I qualified 15th out
of 28 cars,” said Brown. “In the first round of eliminations I had to race
against the number five qualifier. He had problems and I was able to win that
round. During the second round I faced the number 26 qualifier and I was able to
out run him to get the win light. In the third round I faced the number eight
qualifier, and lost due to a bad light and not enough performance.”
Brown went out on the Thursday prior to the SPORTSnationals to test a new motor
combination. It did not go as well as planned. They were able to make four test
runs, but the motor let go on the last one. “We had some work to change motors
for the rest of the event,” said Brown. “With our old reliable motor in the car,
we ran numbers that we had anticipated.” Brown’s father, Gene Brown built the
engine. The car is equipped with a K&N Intake Scoop (100-8505). “We saw an
immediate change in the air/fuel ratio the first time we ran with the scoop,”
said Brown. “There was more air flow to the carburetors.”

K&N’s Jonathan Fiello drives a 2003 Undercover 4-link dragster in the Top
Comp class. It has a 638 cubic inch fuel injected big block Chevrolet. “Knowing
I’m at the track representing the race sponsor is an honor,” said Fiello. “I
feel like there are more eyes on me and this drives me to do better. It also
helps with potential and existing customers when questions come up about K&N
Products.”
Brown’s best run of the weekend was an 8.527 @ 153.40 mph. “For qualifying in
the bottom half of the field, going three rounds of competition is a really good
weekend of racing,” said Brown. “The Lucas Oil Divisional Event in Las Vegas is
the next race for us.”
K&N’s Jonathan Fiello took second place in a close final round in the Top Comp
class. “It felt great to make it to the final but it was heart breaking when I
lost,” said Fiello. “It felt as if I was punched in the gut. My dragster (2003
Undercover 638cubic inch fuel injected big block Chevy) ran great. It was
consistent all weekend and my reaction times were on the money.”
Fiello uses K&N Oil Filter
HP-3002 and K&N’s
E-3003. “The K&N Oil Filter is the
best in the market and it prevents contaminates from damaging the motor,” he
said. “E-3003 covers the fuel injection nozzles and prevents debris from
clogging the nozzle. The K&N Products did their job like always.”
At the beginning of the race the track was hot and greasy. “I had to make some
adjustments on the car,” said Fiello. “By the middle of the weekend it started
to cool down and the track came around. By Sunday the track was awesome. My car
did what it was supposed to do and responded to all the adjustments. It was a
great weekend and it felt good to do well at a K&N Sponsored event.”
K&N’s Bob Harris drove a 2000 Chevy Corvette. The motor was built at K&N by John
Reedy. “I made it through seven rounds,” said Harris. “I lost in the final
round. Winning any round is good, winning six and losing one isn’t so bad.”
Steve Williams NHRA career began in 1990. The K&N Vice President of Product
Development and Engineering won Division Championships in 1991 and 1998 in Super
Comp and Super Gas along with 18 NHRA Career wins. He has compiled 16 semi-final and 4 final round appearances,
winning in 2003 at Seattle. At the SPORTSnationals, Williams was eliminated in
his 1962 Corvette in the early rounds. “It’s hard to lose at any event,” said
Williams. “I have been building a new car and have run a limited schedule.” Williams

AirCharger Air Intake for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4L
K&N Engineering, Inc. has made a 63 Series AirCharger Intake Kit (57-1550)
for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4 liter non turbo.
K&N test have shown a horsepower gain of 7.17 at 5004 RPM with the
57-1550
Air Intake. "We were able to get such good horsepower because the original
factory airbox is restrictive," said K&N Performance Kit Technical Development
Supervisor Kirk Swanson. "We designed the heat shield around the existing parts
in the engine compartment for a nice tight fit."
K&N's 57-1550
rotationally molded polyethylene Intake system uses a conical shaped High-Flow
Carbon Top Air Filter (RP-4660) that fits into the stock location. "The heat
shield isolates the filter element from the engine heat," said Swanson. "It
helps keep a cooler air charge going into the engine. We used a carbon top on
the filter to add to the appeal of the PT Cruiser. It's a very straight forward
installation."

with simple hand tools. The lifetime K&N Air Filter performs for up to 100,000
miles before service is required depending on driving conditions.
