Ok so I picked up a 2012 Nissan Titan Crew Cab 2wd SV Sport package truck. I have done a few mods to it, mainly an AirAid MXP 4" intake, Magnaflow muffler, and 2* timing advance. Also did a few other low cost mods like traction springs, throttle body coolant bypass, 170*F thermostat, and TB Gasket screen removal. Its 5,200 lbs truck that can run a 15.03 @ 92 with an intake/muffler/2* timing advance. Compared to most of the 3rd gens, with even TPI engines that were lucky to run a 15.00 with a few bolt-ons. At this point an off the shelf programmer that allows WOT below 35 mph will have me well into the 14s. Took me a very well built 310 CID Vortec head, SLP runner, Doug Thorley headers, Catalytic converter-less build to get my 5,300 lbs G-Van to run a 15.00 flat. Just felt like sharing and getting some opinions.

Holy huge pictures man. Sorry I don't have my laptop hooked up to my plasma

 

I like it but a lot of people here don't like cars made in America. Only American owned companies with cars made in Mexico.

 

It is a shame that people do not realize that. Sure the company is Japanese owned, but 75% of the parts are built here in the USA and the truck is assembled in Canton, MS. Not many people realize this is providing a huge number of jobs here in the USA and recycling money back into our economy.

As for that being said, they actually designed a "TRUCK" engine, not a car engine adapted or otherwise bandaided into truck use, cough LSx or Hemi.

I had it on a Mustang Dyno today.

Intake, Muffler Swap, and Hypertech Programmer



The Hypertech tuner knocked 1/2 second off my 1/8 mile time. In Full Street Trim, I went 9.21 @ 74.68 on a 2.07s 60' time.

 

I know I'm splitting hairs here but the 5.7L Hemi was actually in the Ram 2 years befor Chrysler put it into any production car. Any videos of your truck by its self? I'd love to hear what it sounds like.
