ToyGuy, congrats on the new toy. I agree with you about the ride, it felt very smooth to me when I first bought my X, I was used to my stang that was very stiff and an F250 SuperDuty (huge turning radius!!!) that I drove for work. I'll be checking out your link soon, gotta make sure the boss isn't around

I would definetly be interested in seeing some dyno results for the Xterra with various exhaust systems and air filter. I'm not very familiar with HP/Torque curves for engines like the Xterra. I was pretty good at estimating the affects of various mods on my stang. With the Xterra I'm not that interested in better acceleration, however more torque at the low end of the curve is always good.
I agree on the low end torque. That'll really help you off road types.

The test mule would need to be a 5speed. Autos produce dyno curves that are harder to interpret. With a 5 speed you just get it into 4th gear at 2000 RPMS and let her rip. This is something we can look into.
