If you're referring to me, you're equivocating with how the word "tune" was used.

Nissan has pushed the little 3.8 pretty far. I really doubt any big gains will be made with a tune by itself. Let's not forget that there's a slight possibility that it makes that much power already. (My guess as of now is something around 510 . . . with 15% drivetrain loss that would be about 434 to the wheels)

Like I everyone knows, more boost is always an option for more power.

Like I said, not much will come from a tune alone. Some sort of mod combined with a tune is a different story. If an owner wants to be a little braver with boost (or who knows what), I bet they could get much more just like you predicted.
