The Avenger smoked its trans in 7,000 miles and is on B/O with Chrysler so he worked with the dealer to get into a crew cab Frontier they had on their used lot. Well he got it two days ago, but put a full dual 2 1/4" exhaust with a magnaflow dual in/dual out muffler and 2 1/2" tips. 4.0s get loud when you dith the B pipe cats but impressive power gains. Tried to load my Hypertech to it to eliminate the WOT restriction but its calibration was not supported even though my mom's Pathfinder is. Exhaust in front of the rear tire in the gap between the running board and tire. He has an intake on order but it still moves pretty good. Got to 90 pretty quick on that uphill onramp.

Wifes X with the 4.0, muffler swap, drop in high flow and timing advance. Ran a best of 15.1 @ 89 that day. With a tuner and spare removed it would run 14.7-14.8

Didn't know the X-terra and the Pathy had the same engine. Is the rear independent too? My wife's '05 been bulletproof. She won't let me touch it as far as mods.

I had an 06 Fronty for a while and I liked it alot, Airaid CAI, Banks Monster Exhaust and BDGT. I thought it was quick at the time, but after watching this video I took right after I got the BDGT, my Titan is WAY faster.

I got smoked by a supercharged frontier on the freeway. Rolling start at 60. I was stock at the time, but I think I would still lose with the mods I've done.

Tried to tune the Frontier with my Hypertech last night, was showing "Invalid Calibration", went to run the updater and it came back with Unsupported calibration. Prompted for an email when the calibration was supported. I was at lunch today and the email popped up on my phone that it was now supported. We just updated the tuner and threw it on the Frontier to see what would happen. 4.0 has some punch now, like drift completely sideways if you get on it too hard from a stop.

The *** end of that truck is so light even as a crew cab, we are talking it would completely swap ends if you romped on it from a stop and kept your foot to the floor with VDC off. My Titan loves to do the same. Roads are pretty cold and traction is virtually non existant tonight.
In the video, the truck was launched from a ~2,200 rpm brake stall, which kills a little off the line power and lets it hook up.

Driving like this and revving to 7K? I wonder why he blew up the last car
Yea like fishtail, turn the wheel 45* into the skid while getting off the throttle kind of sideways. Like my Titan kind of sideways.
The launch from idle was about like this one.
It just reved to the stock throttle shutdown RPM. My Titan does that every time it shifts at WOT.
The WOT bounce of the throttle rev-limit is a Hypertech thing while its still learning.

My goofy hat looks like the one the pope wears.
Real video would be more convincing.

i don't see any fishtailing or real drifting in these speedo vids... The steering wheel didn't even turn enough for any type of angle correction. Oh thats right i get it now... you didn't powa over and pull the E-brake, not double clutchin like you should!
