PM (Preventative Maintainance) race time
hey all. well i have had about 10,000 miles on my filter from injen. should i clean it. I am going to he track and i want to make sure that i go over everything. i know it will be a pain to take the bottom tube off. i take it a regular K&N kit will do the trick right? also I want to run something like 100 octane maybe a little more do i have to worry about detonation?
Anything else you guys can think to do before I go speak up

Cleaning your filter is a good idea. The regular filter cleaner and filter oil from K&N will do the trick very nicely.
Many 5.5th gen owners have discovered that their stock timing isn't even advanced enough to take full advantage of 93 octane fuel. As for running 100 octane race gas, I wouldn't recommend it. Unless your timing is heavily advanced, you will not notice any gains from it, and you'll end up wasting your money. If you REALLY REALLY want to run it, that's your choice. Just make sure it's UNLEADED. If it isn't, you will foul your cat and possibly mess up an 02 sensor.

www.nasaproracing.com recommends switching over to a 10w40 engine oil for road racing due to higher engine temps at the track

Switching to a heavier oil is a good idea if you plan on running the car for extended periods of time at a high operating temperature like you would during an endurance road race, but if you're only going in for a few runs at the drag strip in the evening, changing to a heavier oil for one night is not really practical.
