I heard that "Type R" stickers give another 10 to 20 HP...

Oh wait, that's for Hondas, never mind.

Well this spring they might have a turbo out for the 2K+ maximas. I say still get the UDP since I got that and it helps out nicely.

The chip for sure is worthless because all it does it remove the Fuel limiter and RPM limiter. And I dont believe I have even seen a chip for our cars.

I have not seen headers for our cars, I dont believe there is much restriction on them unlike the Honduhs that have major restrictive headers.

There are only a few cars that get good hp from moding the chip when the rest of the car is still stock. Nissan tuned it right thats why hp and impression vary from person to person. Get some other mods then get the chip last. I say get the s/c. But if you wanna waste money and not get real power get an intake full exhaust headers,udp and full pressure riser.

Rebuilding your engine will do nothing for it performance wise unless you port & polish the heads, increase valve size, etc. I wouldn't consider this unless I was going to do some type of forced induction. If that where the case, I would rebuild with lower compression pistons and turn up the boost, but rebuilding (blueprinting) is not meant to be a means of power production, but rather a means to increase reliability for when you decide to add forced induction.
