Yesterday I got smoke by a brand new v6 mustang guys :(
What do I have to do so it won't happened again?
Please help,
I got 04 4wdrive cc TitAn
On 33 mud grapplers leveled.

So far I have 22inch magna 15288 I had a A 3 inch pipe after muffler but lost low end torque so I change to 2.5, torque is back but high end is not there like it was with the 3inch pipe.
Superchips set at 87 octane
My 4mxp I take should be here Monday.

I think I might get Cajun b ppipes next
Not sure if 2.25 or 2.5?
I'm thinking headers but that's $$$$$
Headers $450
Install. $450
Up rev after installing headers $650
= $1550
so what you guys think?
I could do $500 after b pipes.
What you guys think?

Freeing up the exhaust sure will help but are you sure the wot restriction is off? Some guys reported that the super chips didn't remove the wot on their titans. Pm me when ready for the Cajuns..

All you need is a 4" CAI, headers, Uprev and weight reduction to beat him! Your a 4x4 so launch in 4wd on the street but don't make any turns in 4wd, turn it off before you do. At the track it might be a different story but I think you'd still get him as long as it's stock. LOL I've yet to race one.......Want to!!

It's says wot disable!!!!
So I think is off.
I got a bed cover ot the truck si I know that does not help and my psi on the tires is set at 27psi!
he did not leave me in the dust my fro t bumper was on his rear so I know I need I little hump
Hey night AWOL will I pass emissions with the b pipes?
I still deciding on 2.25 or 2.5 can't make up my mind...
Do you have any made right know?
Can you send me a $ for them shipped I'm at 98031.

If it says WOT disabled, then it is disabled. The new V6 Mustangs seem to be running 13.8-14.1 in the 1/4. As Deerslayer said, you're going to need several mods to be in their ballpark.

The new ford motors are pretty quick even the v6. But remember you have a truck which is much heavier and designed to tow as well has go fast. I don't really see this too surprising as I think the new mustang v6 does about the same as the old 4.6 did the older mustangs. I bet if u had the stock tires you would have been very close. I may have over looked it but was the mustang auto r standard shift?

This is the reason I only race trucks (every now and then i race cars, but its not fair for the truck) :)

But its kool as hell to out run a sports car with a truck in the 1/4. I put a many mustang, vets and camero on the trailor with my old silverado....
 
#25 ·
Im with you man,
Is so Kool to watch peps face when they don't expect the Titan to perform lint the way they do.
And mine does not even compare to you guys titans!!!!
Or when I pull 10000lbs of lumber,
I had two huge logs on a trailer totaling 10300lbs ( crane had a scale)
I was driving on the highway and guys on their diesel trucks were staring at my truck,
So I know smoking a v6 Stang is not a big deal.
Or hard to accomplish.

I know those mustangs are light, and even those v6 are pretty quick, the ego got to me I guess
But hey the guy was really surprise when I got him off the line and I was able to keep up with him, he keept looking over his shoulder lol I know he was like wtf??? To see me right next to him he was getting away in slow motion
Well since that saturday I got the -*2 advance done by storm trooping (I drove 2 hours one way to get it)
And I got my 4mpx air aid( sounds freaking mean!)today!!!!
So I think the next step is Cajun B Pipes!!!
For what ever reqso I can't make my mind 2.25 or 2.5?
I got 2.5 duel before the Maggie 12588.
I'm not sure if that would be my last go fast mode,
I rode in stormtrooper's truck today and I love the way it pulls he got headers and uprev!:)
So let me know what you guys think....!
I know I'm comparing apples to oranges ( sport car vs truck)
But so what ??
Titans kick a$$!!!!
I can still see the guys face all puzzle when he saw me take him off the line lol....
He must think his v6 Stang is the stool!!!
No ofence if you own one!
I wish I did lol!!!
My gas saver is a 300c 5.7 and it don't save gas lol...
Any input towards anything is welcome!!!
And viva la Titan!!!
So what mod should I go after now??

2thaMaX you'll be broke with either of the Storms and their factory freaks. I have to constantly remind myself I have a truck not a muscle car. These trucks take very well to mods.

VK56 under the hood of a Fronty. I would buy that right now.

Is not just the mods that add up.
The more power we get in our trucks the more we want to drive it and drive it hard!!!!
And we got to. Visit the gas station more often
At least that's me!!!!!
and I wish I could burn some rober my VDC switch is not there to turn it off.
Any one know y is missing?
There is this plastic covering the area where it goes.

I could not for the life of me figure out how to put a sbc 350 in my 88 hardbody. Wasn't quite deep enough of a engine bay by my measurements. I sure would have loved doing it but went for a full size instead.

It will be very hard for a basic modded Titan to beat the new 3.7L Mustangs. They trap 100+ in the 1/4. You may be able to hold one off 1/8 mile, but they will reel you in quick and put lengths on you dirty, auto or manual. If one has anything done to it, forget it...... With that being said, the street has all kinds of surprises.

First of all, a dude driving a V6 Mustang...? :ftard:

Secondly, the new V6 Mustangs trap virtually the same as the 05-10 GT Mustangs... high 13s with a decent driver. So definitely no shame in losing to one.

Here is my supercharged 2008 GT/CS with way too many mods to mention, puts out just over 480rwp.

Needless to say that whatever I do to the Titan, it won't keep up with the Mustang. :)

All I got is tow mode button, but my truck is an xe, kinda surprised you don't have it being an le
I'm an LE and i don't have it. But I'm a 2005. What year is your truck? I didn't think it was a model type thing as much as it was a model year thing.

I agree with the other posters too, no shame losing to the new V6 mustang. Had one as a rental and they rip pretty good. To even hang with one puts you in the mid 14's in the 1/4. People keep forgetting how fast a mid 14 second truck really is. You would beat more than 75% of the cars on the road as a whole with no problem IMO and that's pretty cool in a 5000lb+ truck.

Im a 04
The guy at the dealer said I probably got one of the veryfirst trucks of the assembly line...
Eversince I was joung I saw a v6 mustang or camaro or anything that was rear wheel drive with anything less than a v8 a wast of time I know ( for you v6 mustNg owners) times have change and v6 mustangs are prettyfast now days....
It's like buying the economy muscle car!
Oh wait that's what it is lol....
For all you red blooded Americans there is nothing like the rumble of a v8!!!
Let it be a car truck or wagon (magnum ) I have never hear a v6 that I liked more than a v8.
There is something about a v8 that makes me ticle. ( perverts) lol......
I drove my wife's 300c yesterday and felt boren ( it's got the sportpackage)
My truck responds way better.... It's got that neck braking low end torque...
You know... Titan style!!!!!!!
Plus hey my truck jump ahead of the mustang....
So I know you guys with the 2wdrive models low to the ground uprev and all those mods would spank that 3.7 Stang!!!
So I guess is time to get uprev and b pipes!!!!
And then look for a Stang...!!!!!!!

Agreed, the sound defeats the purpose of the radio. And it seems like around here the cops tend to hand out sound ordinance tickets to the Japanese "tuner" cars more. My Mustang is pretty dam loud and haven't had an issue yet, knock on wood, but these poor guys are just cruising and getting their balls busted cuz the cop thinks they gotta loud coffee can muffler, when they're actually running a nasty full exhaust. The 350z sounds pretty good:)

I've got General G-Max tires on mine, but they are more of an all season tire, hold onto the road in pretty much all conditions including light snow and ice. They have been great in the summer and also did very well last winter, my Mustang is an all season driver.
