Jacob Hodges was initiated into the world of drag racing at the recent SCEDA event at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, California

It will be a minimum of 10 years before he’ll be licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, however, 6-year-old Jacob Hodges has earned his Jr. Drag Racing license. During the recent Southern California Drag Racing Association (SCEDA) race weekend at Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, California Jacob was initiated into the heart pounding world of drag racing. Jacob spent two days on the track running through the paces and earning his stripes. He was taught the rules and basics of drag racing before being towed down the track to practice steering and braking in a moving car.

The next morning Jacob was ready to get live seat time with the engine running in his 2006 Hansen built Jr. Dragster. The drills consisted of practicing staging, accelerating to the 60 foot mark and stopping, followed by a longer 330’ run down the track. After a break Jacob was ready to get back in the car and make his first attempt at a full 1/8 mile run. According to Jacob’s father Travis Hodges, who is K&N’s Race Team Manager, “He did perfect, staged good and ran down the track in 20.36 seconds at 25 mph.” Jacob had two more runs down the 1/8 mile drag strip clocking an elapsed time (E.T.) of 17.40 seconds at 32 mph for his final license earning pass.

Jacob’s dad, Travis, has equipped the Jr. Dragster with K&N clamp-on universal air filter R-1100 to keep the Briggs & Stratton 5 HP “lawnmower” engine running at its peak

Come Sunday Jacob was ready for some real racing. He took two practice runs in the morning with his first round race scheduled for early in the afternoon. Jacob was pitted against Carlie Ball in the Lil DudeT 7927 Jr. Dragster. Jacob had the better reaction time behind the wheel of the 7290 K&N Motorsports Jr. Dragster at just .041 seconds versus Carlie’s .185. However, at the stripe Jacob ran slower than his dial-in time handing the first round win over to Carlie.

In the end Travis Hodges said “It was a great weekend getting 6 full runs, his license and seat time. Jacob got a lot of compliments on his ability to listen well, stage the car like a pro, and drive the car down the track straight, especially for a 6-year-old.” Jacob’s 2006 Hansen built Jr. Dragster is powered by a 5 horsepower Briggs & Stratton spec engine. The car’s frame has been powder coated tangerine orange and wrapped in K&N graphics. This car wouldn’t be complete without the superior airflow and superior performance of a K&N high-flow air filter. Jacob’s dad, Travis, has equipped the Jr. Dragster with K&N clamp-on universal air filter R-1100 to keep the “lawnmower” engine running at its peak.

Jacob’s next race will be on March 21 and 22 at the NHRA Division 7 drag races at Irwindale Raceway. Jacob and his dad plan to enter 5 to 9 different races and it will be exciting to watch this young driver progress. Travis Hodges said “Thanks to K&N, Raven & Hawk LLC, and Doug Whitten, if it wasn’t for them none of this would be possible.”

2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L V6 air intake includes an oversized K&N high-flow air filter fitted to the end of a custom engineered rotationally molded HDPE air intake tube

The fifth-generation Ford Mustang received a makeover for the 2010 model year. Although the 4.0L Cologne V6 and 4.6L modular V8 were carried over from the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang, changes to the exterior and interior meant K&N needed to design new air intake systems for 2010 Ford Mustang models. However, Ford introduced a new 3.7L Duratec V6 and the 5.0L V8 Coyote Motor for the 2011 Ford Mustang. This makes the 2010 Ford Mustang an oddball in Mustang history and perhaps one day it might even be a rare collectable.

What many owners of 2010 Ford Mustang models are probably upset with is the huge increase in horsepower the Mustang received in 2011. 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L V6 owners seeking a street legal boost in horsepower should look to K&N air intake 57-2577. For 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L V6 models, an oversized K&N high-flow air filter RC-4381 is clamped to the end of a custom engineered rotationally molded HDPE air intake tube. An application specific air filter heat shield is included with the 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L V6 air intake to help deflect engine heat away from the air filter. All of the design features of a K&N performance air intake system work together to deliver increased performance by increasing the amount of airflow available to the engine, reducing air intake tract restriction and straightening the airflow for less turbulence.

An application specific air filter heat shield is included with the K&N 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L V6 air intake

On the dyno, K&N 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L air intake 57-2577 produced an estimated additional 7.4 horsepower at 7700 rpm and an equally beneficial 8.27 pound-feet of torque over the factory air intake ducting and air filter box of an otherwise stock 2010 Ford Mustang 4.0L V6.

The K&N 2008-2010 Chevy HHR SS 2.0L turbo air intake retains the lower half of the stock air box to act as a heat shield for the oversized conical air filter and molded HDPE air intake tube

The Chevrolet HHR (Heritage High Roof) is a retro-styled compact station wagon inspired by mid-1940’s panel trucks, such as the Chevrolet Suburban. Bryan Nesbitt is credited with the design of the Chevy HHR. Bryan was also a former Chrysler designer and was the lead designer on the Chrysler PT Cruiser. This would explain the similarities between the two cars, and why the Chevy HHR is jokingly referred to as the second generation PT Cruiser.

Chevy offered a high performance version of the HHR and 2008-2010 Chevrolet HHR SS 2.0L turbo models can experience a boost in performance that is street legal in all 50 states

The PT Cruiser shared its platform with the Dodge Neon, and at one point also borrowed the turbocharged engine from the Neon SRT-4. Keeping with tradition, Chevrolet released a high-performance variant of the HHR that wore the SS badge and was powered by a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four borrowed from the Chevy Cobalt SS. The HHR’s 2.0L turbo engine was rated at 260 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque from the factory. However, a sport compact retro wagon like the HHR is deserving of a boost in performance. One of the best performance upgrades for the money is a K&N air intake system.

K&N stuffed an oversize conical air filter inside the stock air box which also takes advantage of the factory cold air inlet

The K&N performance air intake system 57-3069 for 2008-2010 Chevy HHR SS 2.0L turbo models retains the bottom half of the stock air filter box to make use of limited space, act as a heat shield, and retain the use of the stock cold air inlet. An oversized K&N high-flow air filter is stuffed inside the stock air filter box, and a new K&N air box lid is included with the 2008-2010 Chevrolet HHR SS 2.0L air intake system to make room for the superior airflow and superior performance of a K&N washable air filter.

The K&N 2008-2010 Chevy HHR SS air intake was shown to free up an estimated additional 9.4 horsepower on this already fun-to-drive turbo sport compact

To further reduce airflow restriction and turbulence, K&N designed a rotationally molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube to direct the airflow from the large K&N air filter into the HHR’s turbocharger. The molded HDPE air intake tube has a smooth internal surface for reduced airflow turbulence and the molded design allows K&N engineers to make use of limited space under the hood. Reducing restriction and straightening airflow allows the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Chevy HHR SS 2.0L turbo engine to breathe easier. Reducing the amount of energy wasted on breathing allows the engine to put more power to the ground.

K&N performs in-house dyno testing to guarantee that its intakes will provide an increase in horsepower. Tests show that the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Chevrolet HHR SS 2.0L turbo air intake produced an impressive estimated 9.4 horsepower and an equally beneficial 9.74 lb-ft increase of torque at the front wheels of a 2008 Chevrolet HHR 2.0L. An increase in power isn’t just for NASCAR; it’s for your car. The superior airflow and superior performance of a K&N performance air intake can be used even during average driving situations; such as merging onto a highway or passing a big-rig.

K&N high-flow air filters are washable and reusable. They can be washed time and again without any degradation in performance by using a K&N Recharger air filter service kit. The reusability of a K&N washable air filter makes the K&N 2008-2010 Chevy HHR SS 2.0L air intake system an even smarter buy. K&N high-flow air filters and K&N performance air intake systems are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. Furthermore, K&N air intakes bought and installed in the U.S.A are guaranteed to provide an increase in horsepower and if a warranty department tries to deny a claim or blame the presence of a K&N product, K&N will step-in and resolve the issue

K&N air intake 57-3069 will add a 50-state street legal performance upgrade to the following Chevy HHR models:

2010 Chevrolet HHR 2.0L L4
2009 Chevrolet HHR 2.0L L4
2008 Chevrolet HHR 2.0L L4
