Anyone race a titan?

[zo6freak]

Has anyone raced a titan yet stock verses stock? or modded it dosent matter. i just read on titan talk that they are beatin hemis and even the ss silverado. I pulled up next to one at a light i kinda got a jump on em but he didnt pull up on me as i expected. he stayed about 5 feet off my bumper. I know for sure he was tryin but i dont kno if he was just sand baggin or what. because they are advertising low 15's stock with those trucks. What are the stock numbers for 5.3's?

 

thanks alot

I hear they're pretty quick.... I wanna race one but never had the op yet....

I raced on on the highway with my '03 Silverado SS.

 

From 80 on he stayed with me pretty well, I walked away from him when he hit his limiter.

 

I had PCM4less tune and a K+N drop in.

Yeah the Titan can beat a SS and the Hemi. But not by much. From what I have heard those Tities 5.6 motor is pretty tuned and maxed out from the factory. So there isn't much room for improvment. But like with the Ford, Dodge and GM, we have lots of room for improvement.

 

But if one beats ya just remember they don't weigh near what the American trucks weigh.

 

But I raced one on the street once in my Hemi and it was neck and neck only because i got the better jump. Also I was bone stock. Yet to pull up next to one in my Z71.

I raced a crew cab 2wd on the highway from 55-60MPH to ~110MPH or so. We were dead even until the higher part of 2nd gear for me... 75 or so, I started to pull away some and continued until I let out with around a car length at 100. We talked at a gas station afterwards, and he suggested we race from a stop. He was pretty surprised I pulled that well with the 4.8L, as was I. I didn't have time to run again, but I'd imagine with their gearing (the lightest is equivalent to a 3.73) they would move.

 

I've test driven an Ext. cab XE 2wd, and a crew 4wd SE. Stock for me, especially with the 4.8L, I don't think it would have been a contest at all. The only mod this guy had was a flowmaster muffler in place of the stock one. At the time, for performance mods I had a K&N FIPK, Wester's Hot 93, and Magnaflow exhaust.

Raced my buddy's 05 Titan with my 03 Z71 last night 3 times. I have a Gibson single pipe exhaust, Westers Tune, and an Outlaw CAI & 42K on the odometer. His truck is bone stock with 22K on the odometer. A Stock GMC 5.3 from my year was 285 HP. His Titan is 305...but he said the guys on Titan talk are saying they are dynoing closer to 340...and I believe it.

 

A Big Surprise...My weight (Ext Cab) on the scale with me (190 lbs) was 5204 lbs and his Titan (Quad Cab short bed) was 5301 lbs.

 

Run # 1: Both of us in 2 HI

 

Z71 Titan

 

RT .818 1.242

60' 2.502 2.502

330' 6.18 6.655

1/8 10.358 10.111

1000 13.376 13.113

1/4 15.92 15.65

MPH 87.79 88.66

 

 

I won b/c of my reaction time only...by about 1 1/2 Truck Lenghts.

 

Run # 2: Both of us in 2 HI

 

The car in front of me blew anti freeze everywhere, but no one saw so I spun both rear wheels all the effing way down the track at an indicated 60-80 mph on the speedo...The Titan ripped a 2.291 60' time which is just insane, and ran a 15.42 at 88.79 wihch is sick. The next Checy 4x4 that went behind me spun all the way down the track I was told...and the idiots in the tower never stopped the racing so the next RWD car that went which was a Fox Mustang 5.0 did a 360 and crashed into the wall which stopped racing for an hr. Talk about imbeciles...and the poor guy has no recourse b/c you waive all rights to sue when you check in...nice huh. The guy was ok at least...but his car...not so much.

 

Run # 3: Titan in 2 HI & Z71 in Auto Trac (The truck jumped off the line...I was kicking myself for not doing this all d**n night...but I had no one there to ask if this was safe or if 4x4 HI was safe....and this forum was down all day yesterday.

 

Z71 Titan

MPH 87.97 89.03

 

I won again, by about 2 truck lenghts, but again, only b/c of my reaction time. The titan is fast...and his is bone stock vs. 3 good mods for my truck. I was impressed. I was psyched my truck pulled a 15.5 and thinking back with the what if's, If I knew to run in Auto Trac and kept the rear PSI in the tires up at 35 vs. the 27.5 I went down with, and then if I torqe braked to say 1500-2000 or so, who knows how much better I could have launched and run....but that's for another day.

I hope to get my chance tom. A friend of mine at work just got one and he wants to race tom. on the way home from work. Just hope the rain holds to let us. I'll keep everyone posted on the turnout.

[05Silverado81]

Left work with him and it was pissin down the rain of course. W were heading home playing around a little but no race, too much traffic then came up on a cop.Seems like it will be pretty close but hard to say, may get another chance tom.

[colt]

remember those titans have 5 speed auto and nearly 400 ft lbs of torque stock. Torque is what pulls not hp.

My girl just bought an 06 TITAN with the 5.6L... Its got some balls, but I have to say it doesnt feel like it has anymore power than my yukon. We both roll on 22's and are bone stock performance wise. Pretty fair race, ill have ot try it out
