“We used the K&N polished intake kit to enhance the platinum edition Toyota,” said Rodney Findley. “When I worked on the car I retained the heat shield to keep engine heat away from the K&N air filter. K&N is known for its superiority. I have the same K&N air intake on my 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Max and I’ve seen about a 1.7 MPG increase since I installed it. It’s important when you calculate your yearly driving distance, it all adds up to savings.”

Findley said he contacted K&N to use on his project vehicle because of K&N's reputation, history of winning races and quality products.

His next shows will be the World of Wheels and the Spring Break Nationals in Daytona, Florida. In the meantime Findley will participate in the Pinewood Derby. It is a Boy Scout event that is popular nationwide. “We do a United Way charity event at work every year and build 8-12 cars to race them on a pinewood derby track,” said Findley. “They are simply powered by gravity and there are certain rules to follow. This year I had some extra K&N stickers left and I thought it would be fun to put them on.”
