I still think once a decent aftermarket for the Titan gets bigger, the balance will shift. The Endurance is just begging to be opened up and let loose. Just imagine a Titan with cams, (notice I said, CAMS-plural) exhaust, CAI, and a decent programmer....WOW or...OR...a turbo, programmer and exhaust!!

Um....the 6.0L swap put me to a 12.50@106mph, and it took about a day to do the swap. Also spent less money on engine/bolt-ons/built tranny than what a brand new supercharger would have cost me. I did hate spending all of that time and money to make the truck ALMOST fast as a stock TITAN or stock HEMI though!!!! Best 1/8th to date is a 7.40@92 with a crappy 1.94 60ft. Hope to see some of you at the tracks!!!!
