The 57-1556 features a special molded plastic intake tube and a large open element conical air filter. The filter sits behind a powder coated steel heat shield which helps isolate it from the rest of the engine compartment. The factory fresh air duct is reused and helps direct cooler outside air toward the filter. This combination allows for a steady supply of unrestricted airflow to reach the Nitro's engine providing an instant performance gain with no other modifications necessary.

The chrome top of the large RF-1042 air filter adds a touch of class when opening the Nitro's hood. The filter stops dust and dirt by using multiple layers of cotton and 1.45 oz of K&N filter oil. This high flow technology invented by K&N provides the best balance of airflow and filtration. The RF-1042 is also washable and reusable, and can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is necessary.

The 57-1556 can be easily installed in 90 minutes or less with only a socket set, flat blade screwdriver, and a 10mm wrench. Photo illustrated instructions are included to guide you through the installation step by step. The entire system is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

NHRA Winternationals Kick Off at Pomona Dragway

The NHRA Winternationals get underway in Pomona, California the second weekend in February. K&N Engineering has several sponsored racers at the event and numerous competitors with K&N Engineering products. One of those sponsored racers is Del Worsham.

Worsham competed in his first NHRA Winternationals in 1991 and has two career victories at the historic Pomona Raceway. Despite those two trophies, Worsham remains winless in winter. Both of his Pomona victories came at the season-ending finals in November.

Worsham only lives 20 minutes from the Fairplex facility at Pomona and is looking forward to a home track victory. When the NHRA POWERade tour kicks off this weekend, it will be Worsham’s 18th shot at glory in the tour’s traditional season opener.

“We want to hit the track running well, get qualified solidly, and do our best on Sunday,” said Worsham. “It’s so hard to win one of these races. I try not to think in those terms before I’ve even made a qualifying run. The first challenge is getting qualified. We ran 4.79 in Pomona a year ago, and got bumped from the field. I have a great deal of respect for how hard it is to grab one of the 16 best times here. I know we’re fast enough to qualify solidly, even near the top. The first step is to get in solidly.”

Worsham said he has plans to take the Checker, Schuck’s Kragen car with K&N products back to the winner’s circle more than once in 2008. In the off-season Worsham spent all his energy on the construction of a new chassis for a single Funny Car, instead of the two he has owned and operated since 2000. “I did not want to reinvent the wheel,” he said. “I kept an eye on what kept my car running so well in the second half of 2007.”

Del Worsham and his CSK Team use K&N Engineering Oil Filters (HP-5001) every time they race. “The thick canister walls on the K&N Filters have extra strength and durability,” said Worsham. “It reduces the risk of damage from debris on the race track. We wouldn’t dream of entering a race without K&N Filters.”
