Then you have the shrouded GT-R specs. Who knows how much power can be extracted from the VQ, if it does get the green light for Nissan's flagship grand tourer. As you can see, there is still much room for improvement for the 3.5. I'm not saying that the Honda motor doesn't have the same, but the Nissan's looks quite promising.

Oh by the way, the Maxima's 3.5 L has about 10 more lb. ft. of torque than the CL Type-S's 3.2 L, also important stuff (probably due to displacement, but numbers are numbers right?)
VQ35DE is going to be the backbone of all future Nissan cars. The Turbo variation coming will make things very interesting.

How much gain on the nissan from header and exhuast for 3.5L?
