Power module or hi-perf chips?

Does anybody know of any company out with either of these for the Titan yet. I know Hypertech has all the goodies for Ford, Dodge, and GMC, but Titan?

Not yet dude. I don't think they have a chip for any of the newer models of the "big 3". I know they don't have anything for the '04 F-150 yet, and I know the Dodge guys are still complaining that they don't have chips out for the Hemi yet.

It's my belief the car makers change some of the PCM programming each year just enough to thwart aftermarket tuners ability to continue churning out the same programmers/chips year after year. Assuming this is at least partially correct, the tuners obviously use their manpower to break the latest code for the vehicles they feel will have the most product demand. Further assuming this to be somewhat true, the Titan, with it's limited first year sales, will be last in line for aftermarket PCM products.

On 1 hand, it's nice not to see a Titan like yours on every street, and around every corner. On the other hand, the fewer Titans that are bought, the less the aftermarket will be willing to put R&D $$ into producing mods for the Titan. The aftermarket knows that the F-150 aftermarket desire will be there, but this is not so w/the Titan. The more that Nissan comes in under its sales goal for Titans, the worse it'll be for getting aftermarket parts.
