Many of the original Jeep vehicles were designed to carry messages back and
forth between U.S. Army units. The 2006 Jeep Liberty is a descendant of the
original Jeep.
K&N's 77-1540KP Intake Kit for the 2004,2005, 2006 and 2007 Jeep Liberty
K&N Engineering designed a new 77-Series High-Flow Performance Kit (77-1540KP)
for the 2004, 2005 and 2006 and 2007 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6. With the addition of this kit,
owners can realize a 5.92 horsepower gain while driving.
"That's a good horsepower gain for a V6," said K&N Engineering Performance Kit
Manager Bert Heck. "We worked hard and developed a kit that the vehicle likes."
K&N Air Intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they
smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your jeep's engine to use a larger
volume of air than the OEM air filter assembly. More air means more power and
torque when you need it.
The 77-Series Air Intakes show-quality appearance has under-the-hood style with a
polished aluminum finish perfect for a Jeep that's fun to drive and will go just
about anywhere.
77-Series Intakes' are designed to be installed with simple hand tools in less
than 90 minutes, and include the famous K&N Million Mile Warranty.
No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, Louisiana is nearly halfway between Baton
Rouge and New Orleans. During the first weekend of March, racer Doug Miller made
his mark by winning NHRA Lucas Oil Super Comp: Division 4.
“I use a K&N oil filter and a K&N air filter in my scoop,” said Miller. “I never
have to worry about the oil filter collapsing or bursting, and the oil is always
good and clean.”
Miller also uses a K&N oil filter (HP-3002)
and the AirCharger Intake System (63-1007-1)
on his 1993 Chevy crew cab dually truck. “I could immediately tell the
difference with the K&N products,” said Miller. “I noticed a lot more power when
I was towing.”
The Houston, Texas resident is a deputy sheriff when he is not racing. “I drive
a 2005 Kia Spectra to work,” Miller said. “I use K&N filters in my Kia (HP-1004)
and all my vehicles, the product works.”
Miller is going to Memphis for a divisional race in a few weeks. “I hope to do
well,” he said.
Racers in NHRA Super Street try to run as close to 10.9 seconds in a quarter of a
mile without going under 10.9 seconds. Reaction time at the start is key, said
Super Street racer Gary Thompson who has run a near perfect 10.9 seconds 6
times in his index and class.
Gary drives a 1986 Corvette with a 400 Chevrolet
small block 400 cubic inch engine. “K&N filters (HP-3002)
are the only filters I’ve ever had on my Corvette,” said Gary. “The sticky tires on
drag cars pick up a lot of pebbles and dirt, and K&N performance filters really
work and keep my motor clean.”
In Arizona, Gary won Division 7 in Super Street in the Lucas Oil Drag Series.
“The K&N filter has a nut on the bottom and all I need is my crescent wrench,”
said Thompson. “When I fire up the car I don’t have to worry about a bursting
container with this K&N filter.”
Gary’s wife Nancy Thompson races a 2004 Corvette with a K&N Air Intake System.
“Nancy has picked up 3 tenths of a second in ET Bracket Racing with the K&N
system,” said Thomson. “She races at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma in the Wednesday
Night Drags.”
Gary began racing in 1966 and currently ranks number 1 in Jegs Allstar points.
The 56-year-old Santa Rosa resident was Division 7 Super Street champion in 2003
and 2005.
Gary is headed to Tucson, Arizona next for the Lucas Oil Division 7 race. “I
would like to do well,” said Gary. “I hope to qualify for Chicago.”
At 5-years-old race car driver Terry Borcheller knew he had to have two things,
a cool K&N sticker on his first motorcycle and a K&N filter. At 12, one of K&N’s
youngest customers was using our filters on his go karts.
Race Car Driver Terry Borcheller
At 39-years-old the Gainesville, Georgia resident has 6 professional
Series Drivers Championships, winning 2 races on a single weekend 8 times. Terry
also has 57 Professional Race wins in 7 series at 20 tracks. “K&N products have
always been part of my racing life.”
Terry started his 2006 season with Brian Nott’s new Blackforest Racing Ford
Mustang in the Grand-Am Cup series at Daytona. At the start of the race Forest
Barber and Terry were 34th on the 49-car class grid, when the race ended they
came in sixth, only 17 seconds away from the win.
“I run the stock K&N air filter with the Ford Mustang,” said Terry. “Anytime I
use a K&N filter I gain performance and fuel economy.
Terry and co-driver Harrison Brix finished fifth in the Rolex Sports Car Series
race in Mexico at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Terry was only 90 1/2
seconds out of fourth place.

There are a lot of elements to winning, Terry said. “You have to have the
right team and the right motor.”
Terry raced Le Mans in 2002. “Picture your worst day at work then intensify it,
picture having to focus all the time for 24 hours, picture working from daylight
to darkness and feeling every type of emotion and that’s Le Mans,” said Terry.
“A split second mistake or some oil on a track could mean the loss of a car
worth ¾ of a million dollars. It’s easy to go from employed to unemployed or
from a hero to zero in thousandths of a second, but the intensity is awesome.”
During a 24 hour endurance race we need to make sure we have the cleanest path
to the motor, said Terry. “The team owners and the engine builders tell me K&N
filters do the job.”
Terry compared racing to a chess match and said he likes the strategy of trying
to come out first at the end.
“I’m happy to have K&N’s support, I’ve used the filters since I was a kid,” said
Terry. “The company is very easy to represent, K&N makes great products.”
