There's ALOT more hp available with a set of more aggressive cams for what we have, than for adding VVT to the stockers or whatever shizgig they have for 07. VVT is cool I guess, but it adds a whole new level of complexity to adding mods and adds one more thing to screw up down the line. I like the KISS method personally, and really wish we didn't have half the controlling crapola that we do. Someone make a damn set of aggressive cams already.....so I can buy them. If we can get some cams and a chip......the Titan will scare every other truck off the road.

I'm going to agree with the entirety of this statement. The small car in my signature has a variable cam timing (VCT) solenoid on the exhaust side, retarding the exhaust cam to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. A very common modification is to remove this solenoid and its actuator housing and replace it with an adjustable cam gear, which is far easier to adjust for power and reduces the potential for a vast array of problems.Ridley said:
Cams and a chip will open up this thing like it's cool. I can't believe that after three years of presence, the Nissan Titan still has no REAL performance chip.

i talked to a nissan dealer and he said that manufacturers were now having to state their hp's differently. he said that the numbers given to the public were best case scenario and that they needed to tone their numbers down, so by adding 12 hp to the 07 they may have actually added a good bit more
Then shim them. Rattling valves on a dohc motor has only one cause if it's not blowing smoke, and thats out of spec shims. You can do it yourself for next to nothing....or have the dealer do it for free if you are still under warrantee. VVT will not do anything magical to adjust your valve lash, lol.jtmvol said:
My guess is your rattle has nothing to do with your valves..... It would rattle at all rpms, and increase accordingly as you rev it out, regardless of speed.

There's no VVT on the Endurance engine for 2007. I know quite a few people at Nissan, one of which is in advertizing for brochure information. There has been changes to the intake for a little freer breathing. Any other information he's unaware of. He said the same thing though...VVT would add closer to 30 or more HP with no other changes.got_titan said:
I'll be yawning even if it does have VVT. Gonna take an aggressive hi performance set of cams that could easily make upwards of 50-70 hp to get my interest up much.... Wait, those would be useless now too cause WE CAN"T GET A CHIP TO TUNE THE DAMN THINGS, lol. IF we ever get a chip, and some cams, combined with the other normal mods, we should be sniffing the SC numbers thats out now. Maybe it's about time to see what Menards has to offer. They had to have some bad *** cams made up to be getting 750+hp out of the stock block and heads on Renezeders ride. Or maybe just rip the damn ECU and throttle body out and start fresh on the whole intake, controller, throw in an old fashioned throttle cable and use something a little more tunable. Probably be just as easy, quick, and cheap as trying to work with what we have now.

at least there is one person that agrees with me... i mean vvti is great and all but it does make it harder to mod... although in stock form it should be much stronger throughout the band....Ridley said:

LMAO...You're a HP whore!!!!
lmao, nah, not really. It's just all the new fangled crapola, in the long run, ends up being just that..... crapola. 90% of it is only to adhere to pollution guidlines and the other jazz. HP is readily available without any of it, but you have to have the tuning ability to get it. Pipes, intakes, and all the other jazz is like whipping a donkey if the ECU just negates everything you do. Personally, adding a 500$ pipe, and 300$ intake is pretty useless for 20hp or whatnot. You can get alot of hp out of an old school chevy 350, and that is on all the old school tech with a 20 ton valve train. This motor should spank those silly, but not gonna happen with our ECU as it is. Once we get fine tuning capabilities, we can get into porting, headers and cams and get their full potential and IMO see HP numbers that the SC Titans are putting out without any forced induction. For now, it's kinda like pissing in the wind though. Seems like it's gonna be awhile too,,,,,,unfortunatelyHudsonValleyTitan said:
I'm happy with a stock motor for now, and until my warrantee is up. But when I do decide to do something with it, i plan on getting alot more than 20 some odd HP without spending anywhere close to what the SC'ers cost. If that means yanking the TB for a manually operated one, so be it. Menards seemed to be able do it, but I'm sure at a crazy price. I don't need 750 hp though either, lol, but using the same line of thinking and cheaper but similar parts, 500 NA HP shouldn't be a problem for about the price of the SCer. Personally, I think forced induction is the pansie way to HP numbers......
I'm much more into suspension, as it doesn't matter how much HP you have if ya can't use it, and enjoy offroading much more than blasting some Hemi on the street. Gots too many toys to throw money at to get too involved in the truck, but who knows how I'll feel about it in a couple years, lol. Might decide i like ripping around in the truck at the dunes better than the quads or rhino, lol
