I know this is a hair off topic, and possibly my first post on this board. However, have any of you even tried taking your Xterra to a local racetrack to see how it does? I took my 05 with literally 3000 miles on her. And a full tank of gas.

She ran a 15.632 @ 87.71mph. No lie. Thats pretty freaking quick for a street TRUCK. Now. I agree, My X, is not a sports car. I have another car that i tinker with, which is also not a sports car, but will be sure to hold it's own vs a vette and corner a hell of a lot better than my X.

I got news for you, this 4.0 DOHC motor in these trucks. Would be a huge victim for a turbo. I actually had the Greddy shop here interested in doing a single turbo (under hood) install. But, I won't ever come up with the money they want me to fork out. I'd LOVE To get more performance out of my truck, it's my daily driver. I already built myself an air intake, couldnt' see spending $200 bucks for the K&N kit, I used an K&N Filter, just my own welding and piping experience.

I've contemplated numerous things in order to achieve my need for rapid acceleration. First, find some type of throttle body i can install that isn't throttle by wire, Second, to install some type of Boost pressure, whether it be a directly mounted Vortech supercharger. Or a turbo done by myself (now that my other car is dependable again). If not, oh well. I've even, done the extreme and thought about taking the Titan 5.6 V8 motor, and bolting it up to the 6 speed manual trans since they share the same bellhousing and transmission according to Nissan. It'd be hella quick.

Anyway, enough jibber jabber.
