My point was that VQ35 headers could be used. Whether or not the OP decides to use them is another story.
OT: Based on dyno evidence the A33B VQ35 made more like 245HP/265TQ. Same as the L31 altima. The extra 15HP that the maxima supposedly had was marketing hype.

I ran out of money for the full exhaust, but the fact that the VQ30 manifolds are larger in diameter, smoother (relative term) than the VQ35 units makes me happy. Hey, they gotta be worth some gains, right? And they are free.

Go for it, it's a simple cheap swap you can do in one day . Being that you have all the parts ready.
I'm not exactly sure what the difference in power is with the 3.5 cams vs 3.0 cams but I used the 3.5's and with a simple SAFCII tune. I got to tell ya I had mad fun with my Hybrid just ask gtr_rider or 95blkmax they were all there when I spanked an RSX S 6spd that I believe had IHE. I had a terrible slipping Auto at that race. I also believe Tilley also mentioned there was a wider range of TQ under the curve with the Hybrid. I can sure as heck agree to that.

More simple? Not really. All you have to do to use 3.5 cams is slap on some spacer/adapters. Cheaper? I suppose.
There are really no advantages to using 3.0 cams that I can think of. Almost 1mm less lift and 6°/8° less duration in/ex. Please don't do it.

Hybrid 11.5:1 comp
EDIT: VQ35DE on 3.0 ECU 10.4:1 - 5.5gen 10.3:1
EDIT:
In general the Hyrbrid does have an edge down low but up top in the rev range the VQ35DE on 3.0 ECU should benefit allot more.
Only if we had a dyno graph of the Hybrid setup, that would be real nice to see if it's even worth the effort.

what are PROs and CONs of doing a hybrid swap as appose to a full vq35 swap, i have a 98 maxima and i'm gonna be doing the full 3.5 swap. i have a s-afcII, and got it tuned with the 3.0, wont that make a difference since i'm using the 3.0 ECU with the 3.5 motor?.. i have a 95 spd ECU to send to JWT later to get it really running good.

JAMAICANLOVRBOY: There is tooooo much info for me to stand by and not say anything about you looking up info for yourself. Do you need some help with using the search feature?

so much info, and different opinions. i'm gonna just do the 3.5 swap, run my S-AFCII A32 ECU for now, and later get the jwt programmed ECU. i have a y-pipe, and stillen 2.5" catback, that should be good for now. i cant find a good set of headers, most companies selling y-pipe header combo.(98 maxima 5spd)
