G Techs are only $40-50 on Ebay with shipping.

Cheaper then I thought

Don't compare your 7 year old car to a new one. Sub 7 0-60 wouldnt be too hard. I'd say cam w/supporting valvetrain work, PCM, and other bolt ons would get you there easily.

How do you plan to compare to a new Maxima?

It'* got more HP stock, weights the same as 3 pieces of rice on a fork.

Has no comfort, no real features (compared to our older cars that have everything) and you can't fit anything more than 3 orders of chicken fingers into it without getting cramped.
