The Sport Compact Fall Nationals will take place this weekend, October 3rd & 4th, at Englishtown’s Raceway Park. Titan’s very own John Ferguson will be piloting the IPG Civic of James Innes at this weekend’s event.
After recent testing at Orlando Speedway, the engine had a little unexpected wear, and was torn down and rebuilt here at Titan, in preparation for this weekend’s race. In addition to some super-secret engine and turbo modifications, the civic also got a fresh face lift, with a new front bumper to match the flared fenders. The car now not only looks meaner, but sounds it too, and is ready to give the guys in the Outlaw FWD class a run for their money.
Do you have an auto MK4 Supra making some power? Then we have just the part for you. Introducing the new Titan Motorsports converter. This converter features 3 different stall speeds; 3200, 3500, and 3800rpm. This is the perfect upgrade to help get all that hard earned power to the ground quicker, and help lower those E.T.’s.
The engineers at FAST™ teamed up with the airflow specialists at RHS™ to develop a three-piece, polymer intake manifold for rectangular port GM LS3/L92 engines. Testing on a stock LS3 engine with a Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body™ produced gains of 14+ horsepower and 11ft/lbs of torque at the flywheel over the stock intake.
Following the path charted by the original FAST™ LSX™ Gen III Manifold, the new LSXR 102mm Intake Manifold features a three-piece modular design that allows easy disassembly and porting. Extensive testing led to a runner design that is longer and less restrictive, yielding both torque and power gains over the stock intake. New to this design is the ability to remove individual runners from the manifold for modification.
The LSXR™ is constructed from a proprietary advanced polymer material which offers a host of benefits over aluminum aftermarket intakes, including lighter weight, strength and improved heat dissipating characteristics. While the LSXR™ features a 102mm air inlet that is perfectly suited to the FAST™ Big Mouth 102mm Throttle Body™, it can also be used with stock or aftermarket 90mm or 92mm throttle bodies. Other features include integrated nitrous bungs and perfect bolt-on fitment that allows use of factory accessories without modification or clearance concerns.

This just in- New TMS 550cc Injectors for the 7M-GE/GTE. The 7M has always been a great platform for those wanting to step into the Supra realm. Although not quite as capable as its bigger brother, the 7M has great tuning potential and these new 550cc injectors from Titan Motorsports will help unlock some of that potential. Check out these other great parts to compliment these new injectors.
I take great pride in posting stories of the cars we build during our day to day operations here at Titan, but this car is even more special…because it’s my own. After a few months of upgrading and tracking my Z4M I decided it was time to get rid of the OEM competition wheels that were on the car and add a bit of style and class with a set of HRE wheels.
Over the years I’ve sampled various aftermarket wheels on my vehicles, and nothing holds a candle to HRE in terms of fitment and finish. I opted for a set of 19×8.5 and 19×10.5 HRE C20s for the car, the C series combines a step lip with HRE hardware for a lightweight, race inspired wheel, a great fit given my intentions for this car. I love black wheels on my vehicles, however this time I wanted to mix things up a bit and opted for a matte black center with gloss black lips and inner barrels to give a bit of contrast while maintaining a monochromatic look.
For tires I wrapped them in Nitto NT05 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear, I’m anxious to put a bit more miles on these as they have gotten rave reviews for being a great intermediate tire that works well on the track and can still be driven on the street. I’m very pleased with the overall stance of the car now and looking forward to getting it back out on the track.
The first nitrous system on the market specifically designed for the new 2010 Chevy
Camaro V8, instantly delivering up to 175 additional horsepower With the release of the 2010 Chevy Camaro, ZEX™ engineers have custom designed a nitrous system specifically tailored to the Gen V Camaro’s LS3 V8 engine.

BMW owners can now enjoy the benefits of increased flow and more efficient air to help dramatically lower intake air temperatures to increase power. By using a massive 6″ thick W.A.V.E. Technology core, the Spearco front mount intercooler dropped charge air temperatures on average of 125 degrees on the twin turbo vehicle. In addition to lower intake air temperatures, the pressure of air exiting the intercooler compared to the pressure entering the unit was only an amazing 0.20 psi drop. The stock unit has over one pound of pressure loss/drop due to the factory unit’s lack of efficiency and limited size. When the stock unit is upgraded to the Spearco you will have less heat and more power due to the ability to quickly and efficiently move the pressurized air through the intercooler assembly.
Once the initial investment is made, the result is a lifetime of free power and improved fuel economy. The intercooler reduces charge air temperature entering the engine, increasing the air density for increased power and torque, while reducing the overall thermal load on the engine and cooling system as exhaust temperatures are reduced at the same time. This results in less transfer of heat to the cooling system, and engine compartment and assists in maintaining normal temperatures on long hard power pulls. Since the intercooler is mounted in the factory location there is no need to worry about making any modifications to the vehicle. In addition to power and performance, you can anticipate an increase in fuel economy as the cooler, denser air creates a leaner air-to-fuel ratio.
Spearco’s drop-in replacement intercooler upgrade features W.A.V.E. Technology bar and plate cores for increased strength and efficiency by utilizing the maximum surface area of the cores available each core is pressure tested to over 200+ psi. Hand crafted and precision welded, each Spearco assembly is fabricated to strict tolerances and every unit is pressure tested underwater to ensure a leak free intercooler assembly. The Spearco Intercooler upgrade drops in place very easily in 2-3 hours time. Combined with higher boost pressures, the Spearco 335i front mount intercooler provides a win-win combination of additional power and increased efficiency.
What an incredible weekend of racing! Not only was it a record crowd, but there was a great turn out of racers as well. Friday we had 2 rounds of qualifying, the first run was aborted, but the next run we were able to better our best E.T. yet, running a 4.009@181.45. This E.T. was good enough to hold the #1 qualifying spot, something that we were really looking to lock down after having qualified in the #2 seat for the last 4 events. When Saturday morning rolled around, we decided to run round #3 of qualifying to gather as much data as possible. After the run, our race team decided that it was time to put a fresh motor in so that we would be ready for eliminations. Unfortunately for us, the fresh motor had an issue in one of the cylinders, essentially making the car a 5cyl engine. With no time to spare, eliminations started, and thanks to our #1 qualifying spot, we were able to request to run in the first pair in the XTF class. We figured if we won the round we would have more time to fix the car this way, and so we did, running a 4.19 against Sandy Wilkins 4.33. The team definitely had their work cut out for them. They needed to swap the head of the motor in between elimination rounds, and had very little time to do so. But, with a little help from the rain, the event got delayed an extra 45min to an hour, and we had just enough time to make round 2 of eliminations against Joel Bayless. On this run, the car got out of shape, but Gary White’s ballsy driving lead to another W, taking the win by 0.0644 seconds (approximately 17 feet), running a 4.36@173 against Joel’s 4.41@176.
Round 3 against Carlton was the stuff movies are made out of. Carlton normally cuts perfect lights, and he said the sound from the 2 step on the Scion threw him off a bit. Gary treed him badly, so bad in fact that we lost all boost @ the 330′ and had the slowest E.T. yet still won the round. The breakdown of the run went like this: Gary R/T .022 E.T 4.17@173 to Carlton’s R/T .124 4.13@176. Gary White’s margin of victory: 0.0561 seconds (approximately 15 feet).
The finals against Chuck Ulsch were pretty much a repeat of our last visit to the finals, the Scion loses traction for a bit and can’t hold the win against Chuck’s powerful machine, which set a new speed record during the pass. White has one ADRL win in three finals, and Ulsch has one win in two finals. Ulsch had the starting line advantage and White had the lead at 60 feet, but after that it is all Ulsch. Ulsch’s mph here backs up his 204.01 mph from qualifying for the new speed record. Chuck Ulsch’s incremental times: 60ft-1.058 sec., 330ft-2.766.
Congrats to Chuck Ulsch for resetting the speed record again, and winning the event. Thanks again to everyone that came by the pits to show their support! We were really hoping to hit 3’s this weekend, but that will just have to wait for Texas. We’ll see you at the races!
Finally a complete, “in-tank” fuel system that is truly universal. The Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell is an all aluminum fuel cell with an Aeromotive Fuel Pump and Filter, built right into the cell itself. Just like any fuel cell, these can be mounted anywhere, in any car. Simply strap the fuel cell in, hook up your fuel line to the pump outlet and your two wires and you’re done. No more searching for a place to mount your fuel pump and pre-pump filter.
The Aeromotive Stealth Fuel Cell gives you an advantage over any traditional fuel system setup. Through an innovative baffling system inside the cell, the fuel pump inlet always has a constant column of fuel. In addition, the baffling keeps fuel at that same point even during extreme driving conditions, making it perfect off-road vehicles, drag racing, even autocross and drifting. This feature alone ensures the longevity and drivability of your fuel pump. Plus, the pump is inside the cell, so noise is drastically reduced and the fuel pump runs cooler longer.
The Stealth Fuel Cell is designed to be ideal for both EFI and Carbureted applications for street driving or racing, even if it’s forced air induction or naturally aspirated. The proper regulator is required depending on your application. The Stealth Series comes in either 15 or 20 gallon sizes, with either an Aeromotive A1000, or Eliminator fuel pump and filter.
