see thats a good point. The last bastion of hope for the american large truck sector is the oversize towing. Such as large trailers, boats, etc. I have several friends with boats and trailers that are in the 15,000 - 17,000 lb range. Several of them have said that they would buy a nissan or toyota, ...

i understand my comment was a bit harsh, but dont expect a 9k towing capacity with a pathfinder with a titan v8. the IRS is not capable of it. you would need a solid rear axle to get any sort of "heavy duty" towing. so a v8 in a pathfinder is merely a marketing ploy. Not for towing or usag...

its the same reason that chevy who had a wholly adequate I6 in the trailblazer had to add a v8 with marginally better performance.

i have it on my 350, i also had it on my EVO (RIP, bad rally incident) and it is really awesome. When i got it on my EVO, it was much more, like 600. It is really thick stuff, so you might want some assistance from a person whos good at vinyl work, since you have to heat it, lay it, etc. Also the on...

Backpressure creates torque, flow creates HP, you can argue that all day number wise, but those 2 principles hold fairly true, less flow more hp, less torque. The Pathfinder is tuned for more torque than HP, therefore requires a little mor...
