So you are saying the duratec 2.5L from 1995 that was 5-10 hp higher than its nearest competitor was a come from behind?
THe 3.0 has been making 200/200 for 10 years already! lol
In basic hybrid SVT cam form they routinely set down 210+ as much as 220wheelHP. That's 260+ crank HP out of a 3.0L engine!!

How does your nissan 3.5 compare to that? About the same with an extra .5L displacement. All things considered the 3.0L conversion with cams exhaust and tuning is about as efficient as the 3.5L in the 350z producing less power but not by a lot and definitely expected with the half liter smaller engine.

So its all relative.
