bascially the loss of power seldom is talking about is low end touqe, which is the last thing a millenia needs to lose. what I plan on doing is somehow retrofitting a germany sports car exhaust onto the millenia...hopfully it will all work

Exclusive,
I have never had my car to the track, but I can run with a atx BMW 325. I can't beat a manual. If it is already rolling I can run decently with an atx 328. I can outrun the Taurus. I can outrun the 2.5 Altima, but can't touch the 3.5 Altima. Add curves to the equation and I can run with all of the above. Besides if a straight line accelerant is what I need, I jump in my I35. But my car is vastly better than it was stock and I can run away from any of the 2.5 millenia's around here. The torque in the S is to much to overcome althoug if someone put the 2.5 tranny gearing in an S, I would think it would really turn. Not sure of the gearing in an S but it feals to high which may be why 210 lbs doesn't give more grunt off the line.

Oh yeah the cost was your other question. Well I could have done it much cheaper, but because I wanted new (not necessarily better) parts, somethings got expensive. If you can do your own work you will save bundles. I bought my cams from corksportso you know or can find out what they cost. Got my pulleyon a GB for $140. Wires on a GB as well, but don't remember the exat cost but around $70. Bought the tranny cooler from Pepboys for $54 Got the spacers for around $50 as well. Got the throttle body for $190

If you truly want to do these mods, I have some oem parts for sale and will hook you up to someone who can modify them.

Marcus
