Alright This Happened About A Week Ago Late One Night. I Was Driving On Arkansas Blvd. Fixing To Get On Loop 245 When A Ec 4wd Titan Blows Past Me. We Both Get On The Loop With Him In Front, I Pull Up Beside Him Running About 75 To 80. I See Him Punch It And Start To Pull A Little So I Punch It. But My Truck Just Stays In Third!! Shit! I Know Its Supposed To Shift Down Cuz At Wot It Stays In Second Till 83? I Guess I Was Just Going Too Fast. Anyway I Punch It And Start To Pull On Him Until He Gets To My Rear Fender, Then I See Him Start Coming Back!!!!!! He Actually Gets About A Fender On Me Until About 110 Then I Start Pulling Him Again. When I Looked Down At The Speedo It Was Buried! I Finally Let Out When I Had About 1 1/2 Trucks On Him. I Was At Least Doing 125. We Got Off On The Same Exit And He Pulls Up Next To Me And Says Damn That Thing Pulled Me On The Top End I Cant Believe It. I Asked Him What He Had Done To His And He Hesitated And Said It Was Stock. My Question Is Do They Have A Speedo Gov. On Them From The Factory? Cuz If So What Is It? Cuz He Was Still Pulling At 125 It Didnt Cut Off. But All In All Those Titans Are Damn Stout. But From A Dig I Think I Would Be Able To Walk One Pretty Bad. What Do Yall Think About This?

Titans are speed limited to 116mph. Unless the new Unichip piggyback deletes this, there is no known way around it as the typical speedo boxes don't work on the CAN system the computers use on it.

the head, what mods are out there for the titans?

Cat-back exhausts
CAIs
Throttle body spacers (if you think they work)
JBA shorty weld-in headers
Hi-po air filters.

Just recently Unichip came out with a piggyback programmer (they are big in the import car world).
Jet has a chip but it doesn't work (so I hear).

There are resonators on the mid-pipes between the cats and the y-pipe (it's a 2 into 1 system) that people replace with straight pipes since they are about 1.5" in diameter pipe size.
I just had the stock torque converter on mine worked to increase the stall but have shown no gain in 60' times at all. I also had the valve body worked but the torque control is keeping it at bay too.

As of right now there are no gears, posi's, shift kits, pulleys, long tube headers, heads, cams, intakes, or thottle bodies available.

Stillen is about to release a roots-type supercharger. Some day Nismo/Vortech will release a centrifugal. You can adapt a wet nitrous kit to the truck (I have a 50 shot) and I've heard one person did it with a dry.

The engine and transmissions have different computers so the Nissan will not be adjustable for both with just one programmer.

well i think the 05 have no speed limiter, my brother rented one and we had it at 140 so who knows.

Sorry but I'm going to have to call a good ol' :bs: on this one. I don't think there's a NATURALLY ASPIRATED STOCK TRUCK out there that will hit 140MPH from the showroom floor other than a SRT-10 Ram. I maybe wrong but I just can't see it happening. Note, I said naturally aspirated, I'm leaving supercharged trucks out of this one.

Damn, 140mph!? Thats crazy, for stock they can go 140? The Lightnings stock top speed is 142mph might be gov. But theres no way a stock 05 Titan can reach 140mph ,right?

Well Im Not Going To Say That It Will Do 140 But I Know He Didnt Cut Off At 116. Cuz I Had Mine Buried At 120 And Was Still Pullin And He Wasnt That Far Behind. So I Know His Didnt Shut Off. But In Any Case It Really Suprised Me. But If I Could've Got That Down Shift Into Second I Dont Think I Would've Seen Much More Of Him!!

How accurate is your speedo? I know mine's off even with the stock wheels/tires.

The 05 has the same ECM and programming so I'd be surprised. Not doubting what you saw on the speedo, Kevin, but I really doubt it was going that fast for real. Is your tranny-eater done yet? I'd like to see you jump into the 12s!!!

I am going to have to agree with this

uhh, 140 km/h maybe.

Well I Dont Know If You Were Asking Me About My Speedo, But If You Were I Dont Know How Accurate It Is. All I Know Is That It Was Buried!

By the way - sounds like a kill to me....

Thanks. Now I Just Want To Find One That Will Race From A Dig And A Roll. Then I Can See What They're Really Made Of.

Looking at your mods, I'd say you should take a stock one pretty easy.

Those Titans have some balls. They jump out of the hole. I raced my friend in his and i was in a 1990 454SS which is pretty stock besides a hypertech chip and a flowmaster and it jumps out of the hole quick too. We took off neck and neck till i hit 2nd then pulled on him. He was next to the bed of my truck. That is where most of their power is off the line. He knows this person who said his Titan goes to 130 which i found hard to believe also, but I will get a hold of him later and go test his out to find out for myself and get back to yall.

Also i just ordered a Nelson tune. What is your top speed you can go?

Have any of you guys seen the blower for these. I am pretty sure that stillen has put one on them. I do not no if it is production but I have seen one on them. If you check out the new Sport Truckin, that is where I saw it.

It is currently undergoing CARB certification. Stillen is boasting that it is enough to beat a Lightning with. Maybe with some other mods but I don't think I've ever run across a stock Lightning either. They're saying somewhere around 100hp/100 ft-lb gains.

Those 454SS' only run low 15's don't they? Maybe breaking into the 14's? I know GM was really dissappointed with the numbers cuz they tried to advertise them with the Syclone's and it was really difficult. All the Ad posters the Sy is behind the 454SS. Those Titan's are pretty quick. Can't wait to see the SC setups at the track.

Yeah they aren't that fast. This one will do mid to high 15's, its hard to get traction with it. But it is fun to play around in.
