Although the Toyota Tundra was built with a strong V8 engine, many truck lovers find themselves looking for more power and torque. K&N has the answer for these power seekers in their new performance air intake system (77-9031-1KP) for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Toyota Tundras with 5.7 liter V8 engine and for 2008 Toyota Sequoia SUV’s with 5.7 liter engine.

The 2008 Dodge Viper defines brute power. Equipped with an 8.4-liter, 10-cylinder engine, the 2008 Dodge Viper is capable of producing over 600 horsepower. The Viper is often considered primitive when compared to ultra-luxurious supercars from Europe. However, what the Viper lacks in plush trim and options, it makes up for with its track credentials.
K&N’s Performance Air Intake System, number 69-2527TTK, for the 2008 Dodge Viper 8.4-liter V10
69-2527TTR installed on 2008 Dodge Viper 8.4-liter V10
69-2527TTR gained 18.69 horsepower for the 2008 Viper
The 2008 Viper is reported to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds, and reach top speeds of around 200 mph. Combine that level of sheer power with the ability to precisely maneuver through turns, stop from 60-0 mph in around 100 feet, and the 2008 Viper will leave a venomous taste in mouths of European supercar owners.
K&N engineers are always hunting for more power. After looking under the 2008 Viper’s hood, K&N engineers knew the Viper was capable of more. Much consideration was put into the design of part number 69-2527TTR.
The stock 2008 Viper intake tract uses a dual throttle body set up fed by a common plenum with a single air filter. K&N intake 69-2527TTR replaces the stock pieces with twin powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubes and dual K&N high-flow air filters for improved air delivery.
This performance air intake system incorporates a unique heat shield, and the dual air filters line up with the factory fresh air intake on the hood. The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is a nearly 19 horsepower gain at the wheels.
K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Dodge Viper 8.4-liter V10 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed horsepower increases throughout the RPM range with a shocking peak horsepower gain of 18.69 horsepower @ 5,300 RPM! 69-2527TTR provides improved performance with attractive red powder coated aluminum intake tubes to match the 2008 Viper’s valve covers.
Add Power to 2010 Chevy Camaro SS with K&N Air Intake Kit
Dyno Chart for 2010 Chevy Camaro SS
When it comes to classic American muscle cars, the Chevy Camaro is on top of many lists. Chevrolet introduced the Camaro in the early 1960’s to compete with the well-respected Ford Mustang. In 2002, Camaro sales were down and Chevrolet ceased its production. An all new Camaro has emerged for the 2010 model year bringing style and performance back to the table. Available only as a coupe, the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS is equipped with a powerful 6.2 liter V8 engine.
For those looking for a performance boost, K&N has released an air intake system (63-3074) that is guaranteed to increase horsepower. The 63-3074 was engineered to the specific design of the Camaro’s engine compartment and uses only factory holes and mounting points. K&N made installation of this air intake simple by providing written instructions and a detailed installation video that takes you through the process step by step. Installation of the 63-3074 is usually done in 90 minutes or less and only requires common hand tools.
K&N’s air intake system 63-3074 uses a non-metallic intake tube and oversized high-flow air filter to replace the restrictive factory intake housing and air filter. A heat shield is standard with this air intake and is designed to allow cooler air to enter your engine. Less restriction and cooler air means more power throughout the rpm range. K&N dyno tested this intake and the results were outstanding. After installation the K&N 63-3074 air intake produced an amazing 344.27 rear wheel horses at 5161 rpm on a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. This was a net gain of 18.62 horsepower at 5161 rpm.
The 63-3074 comes with a large K&N air filter (RF-1042) that is washable and reusable. This high-flow air filter captures harmful particles and it will perform for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. This K&N air intake system, like all other K&N air intakes, is backed by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty. K&N air intakes can be purchased at most auto parts stores and performance shops. Use the K&N dealer search to find a K&N dealer near you.
