Ok. now I'm lost too. Some people say they beat the Titan with a 5.3, and some say the Titan stays up with an SS. Now, I know the SS will beat a 5.3 stock, because I've had both, the SS is much faster. I'm just gonna have to race one myself to see what happens. Like I said in my other thread, this one jug head roars by me in the mornings some time with his exhaust. I'm gonna have run him down and find out.
And Trever, did you get those wheels yet?

You know, I raced my buddies old '06 QC 2wd Titan from a roll, and I was thoroughly surprised. I wanted a rematch because he caught me in the infamous "death zone" Where the truck doesn't kick down into first. I should have known better. He pulled me by about a length and a half before I gave up and admitted defeat at about 90mph. I still want a rematch, but that is impossible now. He traded his Titan for an '06 Jetta GLI. Badass little car by the way.

Well since there are a few folks talking about titans I figured I'd chime in. Not sure where the other threads have gone in this section?

First a 2006 SS 4x2 xcab with a K&N ran a 14.9 the same night I ran 15.2. So I admit the SS did win.

I have a 04 CrewCab LE the biggest nearly heaviest Titan on the road 5360lbs me in it 1/8th tank gas. Stock in 90F heat I ran 15.8. Now I run 14.74...

To get there I had to:
1. drop in the big tow gear 3.36 from the 2.94
2. Volant CAI and Banks muffler.
3. TruTrac
4. wait for cooler weather
5. learn to drive

We do not have access to other gears that we can buy even with our rear being Dana....Dana Hybrid that is...However we do have a Detroit TruTrac finally.

We don't have plug and play programmers or more than one choice of superchargers or a single choice of turbo.

So to race in a Titan thinking to be the fastest "truck" is ludicrous. As there are faster trucks as anyone can see at the track on any given day. Right now when looking at dragtimes there’s only two trucks to break into the 13’s and about 6 in the 14’s. One of those 13’s was my Rocket Science teacher...he knows who he is…grin

I have posted a few times on this website and have received jabs from some Chevy owners however this I can deal with as a foreigner from Texas…LOL. Most I’m sure were thinking I was a troll or trying to start some crap. But hey for most of you the Titan is an off the beaten path entertaining subject but for me it’s all I got and I do like to see her improve herself as she matures.

If I can talk trucks and learn from others non Titan I’m all for it. I have actually met several of the Chevy guys at HRP and enjoyed our chats. I’ve seen some nice times from a “Farm” truck, a “V8” sleeper RC and an SS blazr “Storm”.

So lay into me if you want. Ask questions if you want. But whatever your decision is I still own a truck and mash the pedal just like you. Let the wheels spin.
