A year that most drivers hope to end as the best year, ended up becoming a learning year for AIRAID-sponsored driver Brock Heger. In 2016, Brock was racing his Icon, Maxxis Tires Pro Lite in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series after a great rookie season in 2015 where he finished sixth in the points standing. In the beginning of the 2016 season Brock teamed up with JM2 Motorsports owned by Supercross legend Jeremy McGrath. Teaming up with Jeremy allowed Brock the opportunity to learn from Jeremy who drives a Pro 2 in the series, which is the premiere class above the Pro Lites and gave Brock the ability to have some of the best crew guys to work on his truck and make it as fast as it can be.

The Pro Lite class was full of tough competition with around twenty trucks at every race, and like most racing you want to be towards the front and away from all the chaos of the people trying to get there. It seemed like you had three distinct groups in every race, with the drivers in the front, farther back were the ones using more force then finesse to pass, and then the ones in the rear were the ones who were too rough and often broke before completing the race. Brock did a great job all season by staying towards the front and putting on great battles with other drivers while driving with respect and good, clean racing techniques. But every once in a while there was some door banging that happened as a part of great racing. Brock finished the 2016 season with nine top five finishes out of fifteen races and finished on the podium four times, which included twice in second and twice in third. With these great results from smart racing and great driving, Brock finished fourth in points overall. In the last race of the year, which was the Challenge Cup Race, Brock battled with the 2016 Pro Lite Champion all the way to the finish line and finished in a strong second place. Brock said, “this was a season of learning for me, working with great people like Jeremy and my Crew Chief Danny Ebberts. We were able to make the truck faster every time I was in the truck. We were the fastest at the end of the season and I can’t wait for 2017, to be able to start the season with the speed we finished with.”

In the offseason Brock and the team have spent a lot of time making some minor changes to the truck that are going to allow Brock to be even faster than he finished 2016. With these modifications and testing, Brock believes they are almost at the limits of the truck’s capabilities. With this they ended up buying one of the other competitors’ truck that isn’t racing this year, which only had about a half a season of racing on it. The progression that HRT Motorsports has made from where Brock’s current truck is should allow him to have the speed to get closer or put him on top. The newly acquired truck was set up for someone with a totally different driving style than Brock was used to, so the team has a lot of work to do to the truck. After the team is finished with modifying it to work the best for Brock they are going to be doing some testing to get it completely dialed in for the races. With the new truck initially set up for the other driver, Brock thinks it is almost as fast as his old truck at its best, so Brock and the team are hoping to come out strong and be much faster and take command of the podium.

Brock also believes that the offseason is the best way to stay sharp by getting behind the wheel as much as possible and in different environments. He has been racing circle track and desert racing in a Class 10. Brock has teamed up with another Pro Lite Driver Broc Dickerson at the Rage at the River 2016 for his first race in a 10 car and ended up sweeping the weekend. Brock’s success didn’t stop there in the desert either, and he has set himself up to run the 2017 Best in the Desert season in the 10 car. Starting out the 2017 year was the Parker 425, which is a grueling race that several veterans don’t even finish the race. Brock showed everyone that he wasn’t just a Pro Lite driver but a great racer by winning the very competitive 10 car class. He then went on to the second race, the Mint 400, and did the exact same thing as before and won the race. So far for Brock’s 10 car career he has raced in three races and has won all three. One thing Brock contributes to his victories is saying, “A key factor to running strong in the desert and in Short Course racing is AIRAID. Without these filters it would very hard, they allow the motor to stay clean in the harsh conditions and allow the motors to make the horsepower needed to win races.”

Whether Brock is racing his Pro Lite in front of the stands full of crowds or in his class 10 car in front of fans lining up in the desert, he is always putting on a great show for them and is striving to be on top of the podium holding the trophy up for them. He is also adding the UTV class to his schedule at the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series with his Pro Lite for the upcoming season. So head out to one of the Lucas Oil Off Road events and watch Brock from the stands or drive out to the middle of the desert and watch him fly past you, but make sure you watch this up and coming racer become one of the greats.

Ram More Power Into Your Dodge Ram Hemi With An AIRAID MXP Air Intake System

AIRAID SYNTHAMAX air filter media is supported by an inner and outer layer of wire mesh

The SYNTHAMAX filter utilizes two synthetic materials to simultaneously provide outstanding airflow

It’s well known that the first Gen III Hemi engine made its debut in the Dodge RAM truck for the 2003 model year. That original 5.7 L pushrod V8 produced 345 horsepower when installed in the pickup.

Then, for the 2009 model year, Chrysler made several revisions to the 5.7 L, all in an effort to increase power by managing airflow into the cylinders. First was what Chrysler termed Variable Camshaft Timing or VCT. VCT uses an oil control valve which either advances or retards camshaft timing. Cylinder heads were revised to increase airflow, and an active intake manifold was incorporated to adjust runner length to optimize torque and horsepower.

All of these technologies can benefit from an increased quantity of colder intake air to make additional power, like that delivered by a 302-236 AIRAID MXP air intake system. The MXP air intake system represents the ultimate in AIRAID’s cold air induction systems and delivers higher levels of horsepower and acceleration gains for 2009 - 2012 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models.

This air intake starts with the replacement of the restrictive factory housing by a one-piece roto-molded air box that addresses all the shortcomings of the OEM design. Housed inside the air box is an AIRAID SYNTHAMAX air filter, with media that consists of an inner and outer layer of wire mesh for durable support of the filtration media as well as overall filter durability. The SYNTHAMAX filter media is comprised of two distinct layers of unique synthetic materials that when combined provides outstanding air flow and exceptionally high filtration at the same time.

Air is directed through a new air intake tube constructed of cross-linked, high-density polyethylene designed using extensive computer modeling to maintain proper mass air flow readings and calibration. This MXP air intake system also features provisions for the factory crankcase vent tube.

Installation of the 302-236 AIRAID MXP Air Intake System is fast & simple, with detailed directi

Add more power and torque to your RAM in just a Saturday morning with a few simple hand tools

Installation of the 302-236 AIRAID MXP air intake system is fast and simple, with highly-detailed instructions. You need only a few basic tools and not more than a couple of hours to increase the power and responsiveness of your 5.7 L RAM. Maintenance of the 302-236 is simple: clean your AIRAID filter every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for normal driving, or more often if you’re driving off-road or in heavy dust conditions, with AIRAID premium dry filter cleaning solution, Part Number 790-558.

And something not all cold air intake system manufacturers can claim: the 302-236 MXP air intake system is street legal in all US states with CARB EO number: D-609-18. Plus the 302-236 MXP air intake system is backed by AIRAID’s “No Hassle” Lifetime Warranty, which is simple. If you are ever dissatisfied with the materials, workmanship, or performance of this air filter, call us at 800-498-6951 and we will be happy to assist you. You don’t have to worry about carrying around a warranty card; AIRAID filters are warranted for life.

Throttle Body Spacer Offers Dramatic Boost in Torque On 2016-17 Toyota Tacoma

The AIRAID 510-654 POWERRIAD Throttle Body Space boosts off-idle rpm on Toyota Tacoma.

The AIRAID 510-654 throttle body spacer boosts off-idle torque rpm from 800 to 3000 on Toyota Tacoma

Introduced in 1995, the Toyota Tacoma is a pickup truck that is manufactured in the United States. It has gradually developed from a compact pickup from 1995-1/2 through 2004 and as a mid-size pickup during the vehicle’s second-generation from 2004 through 2015. The front engine, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive truck comes in three body styles –- 2-door regular cab, 2-door extended car, and 4-door crew cab.

The first-generation model has a choice of four engines:

• 2.4-liter 2RZ-FE I4 that produces 142-horsepower (106 kW) at 5000 rpm and 160-lb-ft (217 N-m) of torque at 4000 rpm

• 2.7-liter 3RZ-FE-I4 that offers 150-horsepower (112 kW) and 177-lb-ft (240 N-m) of torque at 4000 rpm

• 3.4-liter 5VZ-FE V6 that generates 190-horsepower (142 kW) at 4800 rpm and 220-lb-ft (298 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm

• An aftermarket TRD supercharged 3.4-liter V6 that produces 254-bhp (189 kW) and 270-lb-ft (366 N-m) of torque

Two transmissions were offered –- a 4-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual.

The single (or regular) cab was assigned only the 2.7-liter 3RZ-FE I4 or the 2.4-liter 2RZ-FE I4. The TRD package started being offered in 1997. If selected, a differential locker in the rear came with it.

Now in its third-generation, which started in 2015, the 2016 and 2017 Tacoma features a choice of two engines:

• 2.7-liter 2TR-FE I4 that produces 160-horsepower at 5200 rpm and 181-lb-ft (246 N-m) of torque at 3800 rpm

• 3.5-liter 2GR-FKS V6 that generates 268-horsepower (200 kW) to 296-horsepower at 6200 rpm and 248-lb-ft to 260-lb-ft (336-353 N-m) of torque at 4700 rpm. This version includes the Toyota Dual VVT-I Variable Valve Timing on both the intake and exhaust cams. Introduced in 1998, this system adjusts timing on the intake and exhaust camshafts and allows the engine start and stop to occur unnoticed at minimum compression.

Three transmissions are available –- 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, and 6-speed manual.

For owners of the 2016 or 2017 Tacoma who are looking for more off-idle torque, AIRAID is offering the 510-654 POWERAID throttle body spacer. The system boosts off-idle torque from 800 rpm to about 3,000 rpm. It achieves this by spinning the air as it passes through the throttle body causing an increase of velocity that results in an improved atomized mixture of fuel and air into the combustion chamber.

High quality aircraft grade billet 6061-T6 aluminum is used to manufacture the POWERAID throttle body spacer. Moreover, the kit includes the necessary gaskets, hardware, and precision brackets to maintain the proper geometry as it integrates with the components of the factory engine. It can be installed in about one hour using common hand tools. Drilling or cutting is not required.

The AIRAID 510-654 Throttle Body Spacer is designed and engineered to fit the following vehicles:

An AIRAID Replacement Air Filter Gives the 5th-Gen Camaro Drop-In Performance

Give your 5th-Gen Camaro a mod-free power gain with an AIRAID SynthaMax Air Filter

Give your 5th-Gen Camaro a mod-free power gain with an AIRAID SynthaMax Air Filter

After launching the fifth generation Mustang in 2005, Ford's sales skyrocketed across the board. Since Chevrolet was desperately in need of a similar showroom attraction, GM's Chief Designer Ed Welburn decided to take on Ford's retro-styled pony car with a brand new Camaro that looked completely modern, yet somehow familiar. Using his personal 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for inspiration, he penned a striking design that would eventually become the 2006 Camaro Concept. This sexy muscle car was unveiled to the public at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, however the production version wasn't going to be ready for several years. So GM struck a deal with Paramount Pictures to cast a version of the fifth generation Camaro as the hero-bot 'Bumblebee' in their upcoming Transformers film. The actual movie car was based on the Australian Holden Monaro/Pontiac GTO, and wore fiberglass bodywork that was made from the same molds that were used for the 2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept (Bumblebee also used the same yellow/black color scheme as Welburn's 1969 Camaro). Luckily the movie was a big hit, and it wound up helping to keep interest alive as the new Camaro got delayed until the 2010 model year. When it finally hit showrooms in 2009, the production car had lost some of the concept's dramatic styling details. But it was certainly no slouch in the performance department. The entry level 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro V6 was powered by the new GM LLT 3.6L V6, which made 304-323-hp (that was nearly identical to the 4th generation Camaro Z/28). The 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS got a 6.2L LS3 V8, and made 400-hp with the automatic or 426-hp with the 6-speed manual. And the certifiably insane 2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 got a 580-hp supercharged 6.2L LSA V8 that could catapult this beast to 60 mph in a claimed 3.8 seconds. All three Camaro flavors were more than capable of going toe-to-toe with the fifth generation Ford Mustang. However, if you want to get more horsepower and torque from your 2010-2015 Chevy Camaro without making any underhood modifications. You need to checkout the AIRAID 851-427 direct fit replacement air filter.

No matter which engine your Bow-Tie beast has, it still makes power the same way: air gets sucked in through the air box, forced through the OE Camaro air filter, and sent on to the cylinders where it's mixed with gasoline and ignited by a spark plug. During combustion, the oxygen acts as a catalyst, fueling an explosion that consumes the gas and creates horsepower and torque. To increase this power without making any mechanical or software changes, you simply have to introduce more air into the combustion cycle. This will result in a much hotter explosion that yields more rotational energy to turn the crankshaft and ultimately the rear wheels. The best way to increase the volume of air reaching the cylinders, is to reduce airflow restrictions caused by that OE air filter. And that's just what the AIRAID 851-427 replacement air filter is designed to do.

AIRAID 851-427 Drop-in Air Filter fits the 2010-2015 Camaro V6, Camaro SS 6.2L & Camaro ZL1 6.2L

AIRAID 851-427 Drop-in Air Filter fits the 2010-2015 Camaro V6, Camaro SS 6.2L & Camaro ZL1 6.2L

That OE Camaro air filter reduces airflow because it takes a tremendous amount of vacuum to get air to pass through the thick paper it's made from. All of the dirt it removes is then stored between the pleats on the surface of the filter (known as 'surface loading'). Over time, that layer of dirt will get thicker and thicker, significantly reducing the already limited amount of air that can pass through the filter. By contrast, the AIRAID 851-427 air filter is made from a patented dual-layer material called SynthaMax, which is designed to nearly double the airflow.

The AIRAID 851-427 direct-fit replacement air filter has also been engineered to provide superior engine protection versus an OE air filter. The first layer of the SynthaMax material is made from a unique needlefelt polyester that is designed to trap and store larger dirt particles deep within a web of synthetic fibers, instead of on the surface. The second layer (engine side) of this AIRAID synthetic air filter is made from a chemical bonded rayon and polyester blend, which helps trap any microscopic contaminants that make it past the first layer. This means less dirt will get sucked inside of the motor, where it can wreak havoc on the cylinder walls and piston rings. By storing dirt inside of the filter itself, airflow through this synthetic air filter won't decrease over time. When the filter gets dirty, you can simply clean it with the 790-558 AIRAID filter cleaning kit and put it back in the air box. In addition, your investment is backed by the AIRAID No-Hassle Lifetime Warranty, so it's literally the last Camaro air filter you'll ever have to buy.

The AIRAID 851-427 air filter is designed to fit the following vehicles:

AIRAID Driver Jordan Priestley, Proves He Was the One to Watch All Season Long!

This past year certainly has had its moments to talk about around the water cooler, what with the craziest election in American History to date taking place. But more interesting than that would certainly be the story of AIRAID team driver Jordan Priestley and how he raced not one but 2 cars at OPTIMA’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car series season opener at Thunderhill Motorsports Park, “Evilynn” the AIRAID Equipped 2016 Camaro SS, and “Frankie”, his AIRAID equipped 2011 5th Gen Camaro. You see Thunderhill was the first race for “Evilynn” and Jordan wasn’t sure what to expect out on track with this bone stock street car, with the exception of upgraded tires. Needless to say, this straight from the showroom floor, 6th Gen Camaro SS put the competition to task. GM has seriously raised the bar for all those other muscle car manufacturers. But imagine if you will, having to keep two cars performing on the track and doing double duty as the driver. Now imagine 2 days, running from car to car, where in the end you place both 1st and 2nd on the podium in the competition rounds. Pretty impressive indeed.

But Jordan didn’t stop impressing us at Thunderhill. He went on to have the most outstanding year in his motorsports career to date. Competing almost every other weekend all across the Nation, our AIRAID team driver hit the ground running and competed in more than 25 events. Talk about serious seat time. This proud papa has much to be proud of for his season in racing, family, and business.

With the first of the year launch of the 6th Gen Camaro, there were quite literally no parts available to enhance “Evilynn’s” performance. While Jordan states that GM did an outstanding job with the design and development of the car, he needed more to up his competitive edge. JDP Motorsports found themselves throughout the season designing and fabricating performance parts for “Evilynn” to keep her nipping at the competition's heels. The 2016 AIRAID-equipped Camaro SS was also fitted with a prototype Detroit Speed & Engineering/JRi Shocks coilover package that also included front adjustable camber plates. Priestley also installed the new Centerforce DYAD Clutch, which was not only lighter, but outperformed the stock clutch, making a significant difference in how the Camaro handled out on track.

The 2016 race season has been nothing short of stellar for the folks at JDP Motorsports. Just take a peek at this past season’s race highlights and all of the team’s podium finishes:

  • Thunderhill Motorsports Park - Multiple 1st Place finishes in GT Class competition rounds, Multiple Runner Up finishes in GT Class competition rounds, 2016 Camaro SS & 2011 Camaro
  • Las Vegas Motor Speedway - 1st and 2nd Place finishes in GT Class competition rounds

And these are just the highlights. Jordan competed in the CAMC Invitational, multiple SCCA and NASA Events locally at the Utah Motor Sports Campus, along with so many more track days.

As the President of JDP Motorsports, the #1 GM LSx Performance Parts Source located in Sandy, Utah, he is driven to excellence. Whether behind the wheel of his 6th Gen or in the shop building his customers' perfect dream car, he recognizes what it means to perform well. When talking about his long term goals, he’s working toward creating a brand reputation that is the Gold Standard in the automotive industry. He’s inspired by names like Lingenfelter, Guldstrand, and individuals like Mark Stielow who have helped to shape the industry as a whole.

He’s quick to recognize the attention and benefits that the OPTIMA Series and MAV TV have afforded him and the JDP Motorsports Team. In turn, Jordan wants to give every bit he can back to those who have believed in him, his vision and passion from the very start. Jordan is humbled by the opportunities to represent national brands like AIRAID and Detroit Speed and Engineering, and so many others. He plans to continue with product testing through racing, consulting, and getting the parts from AIRAID and DSE out onto the proving grounds. He’s gunning to be a stronger force in the late model world with aftermarket performance choices. Currently JDP Motorsports is working with several local dealerships offering “Dealer Packages” allowing the consumer to have the performance of a supercharger included in the financing of their new vehicle. It certainly seems that our AIRAID driver has his eye on the prize!

We asked Jordan just who some of his biggest influences have been in his life and in racing. He thought for a moment and shared that his grandfather who passed when Jordan was 20 was certainly a positive influence. He was a man of character and left Jordan always feeling good about himself and that he could accomplish anything he set his mind too. He had hoped his grandad could see what he’s been up to these days. Another person Jordan is inspired by is the legendary Dale Earnhardt. Talk about juxtaposition! But Jordan admired him for his prowess behind the wheel and his no-nonsense racing attitude. When the helmet went on it was time for racing and Jordan can relate to that. “Sure he was controversial, but that man could race” said Jordan. He likes to think of himself falling somewhere in the middle!

What few rarely see is all the man hours from the team and the families that go into prepping these cars for track days. Jordan relies on that support and recognizes that any success he has whether in business or out on the track has been a team effort. His gratitude, sincerity and humility makes him approachable and most assuredly one of our favorites out on track. We look forward to what the 2017 race season brings for Jordan and the JDP Motorsports Team. He did tell us that his plan was to top the race season of 2016 and gave us a little teaser to keep us watching. Turns out the folks at JDP Motorsports plan to debut a 2017 Corvette Grand Sport mid-season. We couldn’t be more excited to see where this takes our AIRAID team driver.
