I don't think this has been talked about because I did a seach first and found nothing, but ya'll may aready know I don't know. Anyways I was talking to My Uncle how I said works at the Dekard Engine Plant, but any ways he told me when this latest Maxima came out the Maxima received new heads while the Altima remain on the original blueprint. The older Maxima and the Altima shared the same heads on the 3.5, and the Maxima had I think 265hp where the new Maxima now 290hp. But, the new Maxima heads are a higher compression head and most of the hp gain (25hp) was in the heads. To his knowledge the Maxima and the Altima still share the same block and this could and should be a direct swap. This is probably a mod that's not pheasable(spl) at the moment because of A) it would kill our warrenty B) there is not a lot of the new Maxima's sitting in a junk yard yet and C) the price at this point would not warrent about 25hp. In 5-10 years from now this maybe something worth looking into.
