After years of testing and production exclusively in our TMS Race/Street Cylinder Heads, Titan Motorsports is proud to announce that our TMS Valve Seats for the Toyota 2JZ-GTE are now available to purchase as their own part number; TMS-SUP-ENG-706.
These TMS Valve Seats can be used with oversized valves between +1 and +2.5mm, and are made out of Ampco 45. Ampco 45 has superior heat dissipation qualities when compared to an OEM seat, which in turn keeps the valves cooler, preventing seat erosion and valve face distortion or damage. It also has better lubrication properties, which leads to a longer service life for the valve head.
This past weekend, October 17th, Bradenton Motorsports Park hosted the “Dead Hookers 11” event. The event is mainly dominated by Domestics, but there were a handful of Imports there as well. One in particular was this Black Supra driven by David Penton.
David has been a customer and a friend of Titan for many years now and always represents TMS to the fullest. David’s Supra was amongst the fastest at the event, posting a 9.56@150mph.
Props to David for not only representing Titan Motorsports at the event, but for representing Imports in general, and holding it down with the domestic crowd.
Titan Motorsports has added to the TMS Camshaft line up. After months of development and testing in race and street applications, we are proud to release these much anticipated Titan Camshafts.
TMS Camshafts are now available in the following configurations:
All TMS Camshafts come complete with a 30-day money back guarantee. If you test these cams and are not happy with the results after tuning, return them within 30 days of you original shipment and we will refund 100% of the price of the camshafts.
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.
For those of you who enjoyed the footage of the Super Street Shootout that we posted yesterday, we have included some photos to further your visual stimulation. Enjoy.
Just in, new camshafts form Titan Motorsports. We did a back to back test to see just how good they really are. The test vehicle was pretty basic, consisting of stock cams, Greddy T78 kit, Titan intake manifold, stock block/stock head, AEM EMS, at18 psi on pump gas (93 octane). The only changes to the car were our cams and our cam gears, everything else was the same. The cam gears were set to 0 for testing. As you can see we were able to pick up an impressive 52 HP while still using the stock valve springs and retainers. These are still undergoing more testing and will be available for purchase in the very near future.
On May 30th Titan Motorsports made the trip to Salinas Speedway in sunny Puerto Rico for the Super Street Shootout 3. We brought our 700 hp camo Porsche 996 as well as our world famous Copper Supra. We made 4 runs good runs with the Supra; two low 8 second passes, a 7.94, and our last pass we went 7.89 at 181 mph. We didn’t race in a class, as this was strictly exhibition. The race team had their hands full with the tremendous Caribbean heat, but despite this fact, they were still able to lay down the fastest times of the weekend. The event over all was fantastic and the fans and supporters where outstanding. Everyone was very excited to get a glimpse of the world’s fastest street Supra in action. Titan Motorsports would like to thank all those who made this event possible, especially Ronald, Omar, Raymond and all the wonderful fans and supporters at the event. We’ll see you at the races.
On February 8th we will be hosting a BBQ Meet and Greet at Orlando’s newest race track, the Central Florida Road Course. The event will be hosted from 11-5 at the road course which is located. Food and beverage will be provided. No alcoholic beverages are allowed on site.

This weekend we headed out to Colonial TownPark in Lake Mary,FL for the monthly Cars and Cafe event put on by Orlando Automotive Club. Attendance was slightly down as a result of the holidays, however there was a still great turnout of cars from various marquees. I had my father in town for the holidays and had the pleasure of bringing him out to the event to enjoy all the beautiful cars on such a nice day. This was also the first Cafe meet the Camouflage Porsche attended and it received quite a bit of attention as one can expect. Check out the gallery below to see all the great cars in attendance.
This weekend I had the pleasure of heading to Long Beach, California for the Red Bull Drifting Finals. I’ve been attending import events for over 10 years now, and as hard as it is to believe, this was my first drifting event. That being said I could not have picked a better event to attend, Red Bull and FormulaD truly outdid themselves in the planning and execution of this event, and it ran flawlessly.
We flew in Thursday Night and headed to downtown Long Beach for the pre-party. FormulaD organized a pre-party upstairs at Smooths, and also arranged for the streets to be closed off so the cars could line up through downtown. It was a great time with plenty of beers and Red Bulls being consumed from friends of new and old, along with some of the best drifters from around the world. The drivers picked straws to determine their qualifying order and then proceeded to parade back to the pier for the following days testing.
Here is a quick video of the cars lined up in front of Smooths in Long Beach during the straw pull / pre-party.
On Friday a Pro-Am event was held on the course. Without access to the event we spend the day enjoying some of the fun things to do around Long Beach. I was highly impressed with how clean Long Beach as a city was. The air quality and Smog left a lot to be desired, but I can’t count how many people where picking up trash, washing sidewalks and windows, etc on the cities dime.
Saturday we walked from the host hotel, Westin of Long Beach, down to the convention center to catch our bus to the venue. I was a little hesitant of how this was going to work out as I read about the event, however parking and the bus schedule seemed to work perfectly, and I can’t remember waiting more than 15 to catch a bus. As we drove into the port of Long Beach, the scenery went from a plush cityscape to an industrial yard complete with oil tankers, cranes and container ships. FormulaD had built a small city within this landscape and in the middle was the track where the event would be held. Bleachers, VIP stands, catch fences vendor tents, everything needed to hold a proper event where brought into this shipyard. It was truly a work of art and one of the best places you could possible hold a drifting event. Qualifying took place and the competitors where scored on their runs, combined with entry speeds from 85-104mph. There was plenty of smoke coming from the competitors tires, and blowing in from the brush fires in nearby Sylmar fires being pushed with Santa Ana winds. Combined with the already thick Long Beach smog it made breathing a bit more difficult, however it added to the industrial environment the track was constructed in. There were some great solo runs to be seen but the real event was still to come on Sunday.
Sunday morning we again boarded the bus and headed out to the venue for the main event. A big thanks to Steve @ Scion for providing us with great hospitality in the Scion VIP stand. The event kicked off with the Red Bull air team sky diving in at 80+mph, then followed by tandem sessions with 32 of the world’s best drifters. The event format was a bit different at this event, drivers were not given advantages, just a win/loss/omt (one more time) at the end of 2 sessions. The first session a driver would lead the run, then follow the section run. If the 2 runs are 2 close to determine a winner an OMT is granted so that the 2 competitors can run again until a concrete victor is determined. There were plenty of great cars participating however those that stood out where an E36 Wagon, Quad-Rotor RX7 (one of the best sounding engines I’ve heard in a while), and the ever popular Mopar Viper. The day had plenty of great drifts, crashes, but in the end Red Bulls very own Rhys Millen wont the event with his consistent drifts, 3 digit entry speeds and great transitions. We boarded the bus after a great event and flew back to Florida to get things started for 2009. I truly hope Red Bull / FormulaD is able to make this event an annual event, as I had a blast and would love to see some other east coasters fly out and enjoy the event. Will you see a Titan Supra drifting in 2009? I can’t guarantee it, but it sure would be cool.
Some other fun things we did while in Long Beach
Aquarium of the Pacific – If you make it to Long Beach definitely check out this aquarium. The exhibits range from 5,000 gallons to 3,500 gallons allowing you to view the animals in a realistic environment.
Inn-N-Out Burger – The first place we went after exiting the plane was Inn N Out Burger. Inn-N-Out burger has some of the best burgers and fries I’ve ever had at a fast food joint. They currently only have locations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. If you make it out west it’s definitely worth the trip.
PinkBerry – Everyone is raving about PinkBerry frozen yogurt on the internet and in those gossip mags my fiancé is constantly reading. Currently only open in New York and California this chain serves some of the best yogurt I’ve ever had. Basically it’s all natural non-fat yogurts in Green Tea, Pomegranate, and Original Flavors, combined with some of the freshest toppings. I’ve got to admit I’m hooked, I can only hope they bring the concept to Orlando soon to kill my sweet tooth and stay healthy at the same time.
Yard House – 215 beers available on tap. Need I say anything more. Located in Shoreline Village this restaurant has just about any beer you could want and then some, most available in their half yard sized glasses.
