New Shorter K&N Sprint Car Air Box for 4 Cylinder, Stack Injected Race Engines Released

admin — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:35:31 +0000

Feb. 14, 2008 -- Many race car and engine builders struggle to find an air filtration solution for injector stacks. The filter must be large enough to flow enough air, must securely mount to prevent damage during a race, and yet be small enough to not obstruct the driver’s view. K&N took each of these variables into consideration when developing a new carbon fiber air box at slightly over 4 inches tall.

K&N’s new 100-8576 air box was developed in carbon fiber to attach to four inline injector stacks. Simply measure and cut holes for your 2” – 2 5/8” diameter Hilborn, Kinsler, Engler, or similar injector stacks in the carbon fiber base of the K&N air box, slip the base over the stacks, and then attach the filter top using the provided hardware.

In 2003, the third generation Viper appeared with a longer wheelbase, stiffer chassis and revised suspension tuning, giving the car greater dynamic precision. The Dodge Viper just keeps getting better as we eagerly await the release of the new SRT-10 Viper in 2008 with, of course, even more horsepower; 600 to be exact.

These dirt particles cling to the outside of the filter and become part of the filtering media.
