Chevy Silverado / GMC Sierra HD Pickups with Duramax LMM Diesel V8 Engines can Increase Performance
- Jun 11, 2014
General Motors designed its line of HD full-size pickups, which includes the Chevy Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD, to provide high towing and payload capacities beyond that of a regular duty pickup. While the 2500 and 3500 HD trucks have proved themselves as a solid work-horse, they’ve also become very popular with the custom truck crowd. Lifted and lowered Duramax diesel powered Silverados and Sierras can be seen storming the streets with a commanding presence. Here to help increase the horsepower, torque, and boldness of these already menacing trucks is the new Blackhawk Air Induction System, 71-3066, from K&N.
The 71-3066 Blackhawk Air Induction System is expert-engineered and guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. It replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, mandrel bent aluminum air intake tube to help minimize restriction, straighten, and increase airflow to the engine. The mandrel bent aluminum intake tube is finished in a durable flat black powdercoat for a stealth look under the hood. K&N 71-3066 incorporates a heat shield which helps guard air entering the engine from ambient heat.
For that true blacked out look K&N designed a new line of all black synthetic Dryflow air filters. Air induction system, part number 71-3066, includes K&N’s RU-5177HBK conical Dyflow air filter fitted to the inlet of the air induction system. K&N Dryflow filters provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding filtration efficiency. RU-5177HBK is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Use of Synthetic Air Filter cleaner, number 99-0624, is recommended when it comes time to clean RU-5177HBK. This Dryflow air filter does not need to be oiled. Blackhawk Air Induction Systems are designed to perform as good as they look. The K&N 71-3066 air induction system puts down impressive performance gains in horsepower and torque. On the dyno, when installed on a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 6.6 liter V8 diesel, the 71-3066 air induction system produced an estimated additional 12.53 horsepower at 2638 rpm and an incredible 27.67 pound-feet of torque at 2298 rpm.
The 71-3066 Blackhawk Air Induction System is an easy to install performance upgrade that can be installed in about 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools, and by following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions. It maintains all necessary factory connections and does not require any additional modifications be made to the vehicle. K&N backs the 71-3066 air induction system with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty so owners can rest assured that their intake system will stand up to tough conditions. Whether the 2007 to 2010 Chevy or GMC Duramax diesel is used for work or play, the K&N 71-3066 air induction system will provide durable and reliable increased performance for years to come. Blackhawk Air Induction System, 71-3066, is guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque on the Chevrolet and GMC models listed below: 2010 GMC SIERRA 3500 HD 6.6L V8 DSL For all K&N Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 / 3500 HD trucks air intakes visit the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Air Intakes, Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Air Intakes, GMC Sierra 2500 Air Intakes and GMC Sierra 3500 Air Intakes pages on KNFilters.com. |
